popen doesn't work that way. you can only open them read or write. you'll have to create a couple of pipes (one for reading, one for writing), do a fork, execve, etc with the posix api. at least that's how one does it in C...i'm a bit new to python so there might be better ways. -- burton samograd kruhft .at. gmail kruhft.blogspot.com www.myspace.com/kruhft metashell.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
