Don't do that. Just use a separate thread to monitor the file handle on select() or something. Twisted could do this for you with the threadedselectreactor (in svn) <http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/ 2005/04/17/twisted-and-foreign-event-loops/>. Similar things could be done by hand. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
