Indeed, as I indicated the old recipe/160164 by Michael Hudson works flawlessly for me.
I am referring here to the latest edition: cookbook #2 which features an upgraded version. You find the examples in: http://examples.oreilly.com/pythoncook2/cb2_examples.zip The files are named cb2_6_21_*.py, but the book has the recipe in chapter 20.15. malv -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
