this has been a highly-desired feature for quite awhile. starting in 2.6, you can use the new multiprocessing module (originally called pyprocessing): http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html there is a backport to 2.4 and 2.5 here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/multiprocessing/2.6.0.2 there are similar packages called pypar and pprocess: http://datamining.anu.edu.au/~ole/pypar/ http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/pprocess.html hope this helps! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
