If I remember correctly, if you want to pass '\n' so readline won't stop, you should be able to escape the escape '\\n', then remove the extra '\' when actually processing. Of course, readline will continue to read until buffer filled or a real '\n' is passed (g). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
