My understanding of the OP's request was that "tsys2list" was a custom script of some sort that gathered info from the user, so I wanted to know why he didn't just skip calling it and write something in Tkinter or wxPython or even via the CLI instead. I'm probably just not understanding something. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
