Thanks, I am writing a fixture to test an app. The app normally uses the Python wrapper for the GnuTLS library to handshake with a service that I want to mock up in my fixture. The app passes a file descriptor number to gnutls_transport_set_ptr() When I test the app, the app and fixture run in the same process. I want a file descriptor number I can foist on the app, and in the fixture access what is read/written to it by the GnuTLS wrapper. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
