I think this could be done more or less with the multiprocessing module: http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#module-multiprocessing However I would like to have a look at policykit first, it could be a more elegant solution: http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=search&term=polkit&submit=search http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PolicyKit http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359397 http://live.gnome.org/PolicyKit I note that policykit was created by redhat, and that RHEL6 does not include gksudo in with its gnome for some odd reason. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
