Well that will return the reverse lookup of the current hostname assigned to your system. Is this a Windows or Linux/Unix system? What does this return? print socket.gethostname() print socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname()) j On Jan 2, 2008 8:45 AM, shawn bright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

When running local, the flex/xmlrpc solution is just as responsive as a traditional GUI app in my experience with regards to data loading, etc. The network/python latency isn't especially noticeable when running the GUI local to the flex UI. I didn't really get caught up on a difference between th
