Incidentally, typically I'll use Python's multiprocessing module, or the Python-DBUS bindings (particulary the asynchronous features of DBUS) if there's some really intensive work to be done. So it might be worth a look for you too. Keep in mind, though, DBUS is emphatically NOT optimised for throughput - it's not a good idea for pushing around a lot of data (instead of, say, reading a lot of data and passing back a summary). This is (presumably) where Twisted shines, because of its origins as a networking framework. - Jason _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
