Is there a way to do this?o
Sure. Just enter a loop. Incidentially, common application server frameworks as SimpleXMLRPC or pyro come with a main event loop which will of course prevent the interpreter to stop. Together with the daemonize-recipe from apsn, you have your server. I suggest you use pyro - that will most probably cause the least fuss. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
