What happens when both try to log an exception,
They both do their own thing because you have two entirely separate instances of the interpreter running, each in its own process. So they both set their own excepthook and is none the wiser of what the other one is doing. If you later decide to bring the jobs into a single program, maybe running each job in a separate thread then things get more tricky. But if you run each job as a separate script then there is no issue (unless they are both sharing a file/database but that's a standard OS locking type issue, nothing specific to Python. > or will there be confusion? Should I thread it somehow? Threading will make it much more complex.

Thanks. I think you should be fine provided you log into separate files per job and are not trying to modify the same data in the database. But these are standard batch processing concerns, easiest solved by designing the job schedule to avoid conflicts. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
