I shouldn't think that Jim Hugunin will divert from the standard. In fact he's even been asking on Python-Dev whether they should replicate the bugs in Python 2.4 or stick with the documented behaviour ! Jim is in charge of the project and was the lead developer behind Jython - so he literally knows Python inside out. Anyway - PythoNWin and COM may well be the right approach for your problem anyway. :-) Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
