The only canned solution for parsing a bash script is bash. Think about it the other way around: If you wanted to have a Python variable made available to a bash script, the obvious thing to do is to invoke Python. It's the same thing. I recommend going with Hans Mulder's suggestion of a wrapper script; that seems to be the cleanest option available. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
