I was thinking more of a solution 'native' to python 2.3.
Why? What's the point? If subprocess is known to solve your problem, then why would you waste even half an hour of your time trying to re-engineer it? It's not like this is some hack job by a high schooler -- that download is the same subprocess module that was accepted into Python 2.4, by the same author. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
