No, that's not what I wanted. I ended up just running the script as a cron job. It was a one-off (well, twice actually, since the first time demonstrated a bug in my code) test of some code that tries to determine the size of the current terminal. I wanted to ensure that it would do the right thing when run without a tty, such as from a cron job. Thanks to everyone who replied. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
