I have the script running fine here. Of course not knowing the content of 'somefile' I am randomly picking a text file as the substitute in my test.
I do suspect it has something to do with the 'tail' command. Perhaps you can try various versions to see if they are any different. I am using the version that comes with cygwin, and it simply works. Or could it be because I am running on Win NT4 and you are not? Other than that I can't really think of other possible cause of the problem.

Arthur,
If you mean to add the second readline then the script already has that, I'd
shortened the script for clarity.
The problem is that it doesn;'t get past the first readline.
Someone has responded off-list so I'll try his suggestions first before
anymore questions.
Thanks anyway.
Phil

Perhaps it should have been the following? :
1: stdin=os.popen('tail -f somefile')
2: logline=re.compile('(.*?).*?- - \[(.*?)\] "(.*?) (.*?)" (.*?)
(.*?)"(.*?)" (.*?)".*')
3: a=stdin.readline()
4: print a
5: while a:
6: g=logline.search(a)
7: if not g: continue
8: a=stdin.readline()
