You probably want to create a Windows service with Python. There are various ways to accomplish this. While I haven't done it myself, I found you some links: http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/09/running-python-script-as-windows.html http://essiene.blogspot.com/2005/04/python-windows-services.html http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi.html Then the service can basically listen for input. You could probably do something similar by creating a local server with cherrypy or some such. I like the pubsub module for communication in wxPython. Fortunately you can use it outside of the toolkit as well: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pubsub/1%20to%203 There's also a win32 mailing list for Python users. If you have specific questions about creating a service, that's probably the best place to ask. Here's a link to that as well: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 HTH Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
