The Python "Queue" module is designed for communicating between threads of a single process. It relies on a common memory space. For interprocess communication, you'll need to use a different scheme. On Windows, you can try to use a named pipe or a mailslot, or even spawn a message loop and exchange window messages. Or, you could take a cross-platform approach and use sockets. You might try to Google for "python ipc"; I found a couple of good hits in the first couple of pages. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
