Python has good support for multiple threads running on a single processor. The GIL prevents Python from effectively running multiple threads on multiple processors. You might also be interested in Twisted which provides industrial-strength servers using an asynchronous model rather than threading. There is an example of a simple UDP echo server here: http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/examples/echoserv_udp.py Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
