Perhaps it should have been the following? :
1: stdin=os.popen('tail -f somefile')
2: logline=re.compile('(.*?).*?- - \[(.*?

Readline is not SUPPOSED to finish! Here is what the manual says about
tail -f regarding this:
the tail command does not terminate after the last
specified unit of the input file has been copied, but continues to read
and copy
additional units from the input file as they become available.
All,
I have a script that uses popen to start an external process (tail -f) and
allow me to read the results:
1:stdin=os.popen('tail -f somefile')
2:logline=re.compile('(.*?).*?- - \[(.*?)\] "(.*?) (.*?)" (.*?) (.*?)
"(.*?)" "(.*?)".*')
3:a=stdin.readline()
4:print a
5:while
