that's an idea, thanks Oscar. However I get an exception while trying to open the queue: fout = open('/tmp/mypipe', 'w') I have tried it in a command line and the call doesn't return until in another terminal I open the same queue for reading (???) I have created the queue with: mkfifo /tmp/mypipe any clue? mik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
