You can use the normal file open() and read() functions to read the username and password from a file. You can write the file as a Python module, put it somewhere in the Python path and import it. You can use the ConfigParser module to read an INI file... Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
