No, python provides no such mechanism. However, I would highly recommend you take a look at circuits (1) for this task - as it's been especially developed for distributed processing in the manner you describe above. In order for your program to propagate itself, you would have to rely on ssh (recommended). There are several good ssh libraries/clients for python, and pexpect might come in handy as well. cheers James 1. http://trac.softcircuit.com.au/circuits/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
