When the parent dies, the child should die when it's writing on the broken pipe. At least that's how it works in Unix systems. I don't know about Windows, however. To let the dying be fast you should make sure that stdout in the child is unbuffered. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://pietvanoostrum.com [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: p...@vanoostrum.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
