Imagine this timeline: <thread1> os.environ['__kabc_ldap'] = '/tmp/tmp1' <thread1 suspended, thread2 starts to run> <thread2> os.environ['__kabc_ldap'] = '/tmp/tmp2' <thread2> launch ldapsearch (output goes to '/tmp/tmp2') <thread2 suspended, thread1 starts to run> <thread1> launch ldapsearch (output goes to '/tmp/tmp2' over output from ldapsearch launched from thread1) Seems like that's what is happening to your program. -- Leo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
