OK, Thats a slightly unusual way to do things unless the data processing is acting as a server for multiple clients. Normally we would write the data processing as a module that exposed some functions (or classes) that are called from the GUI and the GUI then updates the interface with the result. But assuming you must use two separate scripts running as two processes then you can still get them to interwork. Take a look at my tutorial under the topic inter-process-communication for how to use pipes. If it is a multi-client server (or iof the serrver is on another machine from the GUI) then sockets may be more appropriate (I haven't gotten round to finishing that topic yet! :-) > A will invoke B to run.

But equally rewriting B as a module will be even better. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
