I got it working with
while ip_addr == "": sys.stdout.writelines("...") sys.stdout.flush() time.sleep(0.5) ip_addr = get_addr() if ip_addr != '': ... Script works like a charm now! Still rife with bugs and problems that would make it more or less useless for anyone except me - but a perfectly good, pptp config program already exists. I just made my own for education reasons. Anyone curious can view the whole thing here: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~sger/pytp I'd welcome any constructive criticism. Also, I'm storing a lot of passwords in plain text files. I hope I got all the permissions stuff right, but again, if anyone happens to spot any obvious flaws please do share.
