Thanks for the suggestion. I did think of this. Indeed the final destination of the data is in a db. However, the postsgresql server is on a separate box. It will be connected via a private lan. I was worried that possible network disruptions would cause either the web application to hang -- or data to just get lost. I was thinking along the lines is a message queue architecture, where the web app would push data directly onto a queue -- and then a worker app would dequeue the data and handle it by sending it to the db server or otherwise. -- David Bear -- let me buy your intellectual property, I want to own your thoughts -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
