You really need to post code fragments: it makes it much easier to see what you've actually done, rather than the guess which I'm making :) You probably need to setDaemon (True) on your threads after you've created them and before they run. That tells the OS: don't bother waiting for these ones to finish if the program exits. (At least I think that's what it does; I don't use threads all that much) TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
