There are several ways to do it depending on what exactly you are trying to do. We need a bit more detail. If the "timing script" is an externalo program then if you run it using os.system() your code will wait(ie block) until system() returms - which is when the program executed exits. However os.system() is a bit of a blunt tool and often not the best solution. If we know what the real problem is we might do 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
