Thanks. FYI, under Mono: IP on mac: os.name == 'posix' IP on linux: os.name == 'posix' IP on windows 7: os.name == 'nt' I'll have to figure out a different way to distinguish between mac and linux. Even sys.getwindowsversion() gives a platform of 4 for Mac and Linux under Mono. -Doug > - Jeff > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users@lists.ironpython.com > http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
