I also noticed that if you do the following: python junk.py -i then the interpreter is not interactive. I was also not aware that the options had positional dependency. you could do a work around by calling it like this: python -i junk.py -i then sys.argv has the extra -i... or better, insist on being told in both cases with say -i and -n at the end. it does not answer the real question, though, as someone could lie to you. - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
