Ug. I think forking is too expensive. What I could imagine would be an XMLRPC backend against which you could write a server in your language of choice. Now, whether XMLRPC is more efficient than fork/popen/and friends, I don't know, but at least you won't have to worry about funny shell escapes and other nonsense. just-musing-ly y'rs, -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
