Another "gotcha". The "pickle" module seems to be OK with the translations of "universal newlines" on Windows, but the "cPickle" module is not. If I pickle Exception("Test") send it across the Windows pipe to the parent in universal newlines mode, and read it with cPickle's load() function, I get ImportError: No module named exceptions If I read it with "pickle"'s "load()", it works. And if I read the input one character at a time until I see ".", then feed that to cPickle's "loads()", that works. So cPickle doesn't read the same thing Python does in "universal newline" mode. Is there any way within Python to get the pipe from a child process to the parent to be completely transparent under Windows? John Nagle -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
