If you're on linux, you could try poking around /proc/net. See, for example: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2000/11/16/LinuxAdmin.html But I think invoking netstat and parsing the output from python might work well enough. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
