Sounds like you want threads. Spin off a thread that collects data and sleeps, collects data and sleeps; meanwhile, serve web pages. But there's no way you can *guarantee* that the serving of pages won't interrupt data collection. With separate processes, you could potentially use OS-level prioritization to help your data collection process, but even then, it's not a guarantee. What are the consequences of mistimed data collection? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
