Andrew:
Thanx ! I *swear* I always spend at least a couple hours or so looking
for stuf like this on my own ! That's the single most frustrating part
about the Web (besides this idiotic W32.Swen virus/worm) ! No matter
how you compose a query, there's always something that you miss....
BTW, I haven't tried it, but I bet os._exit will fail just like
sys.exit(). Besides the reason for a graceful shutdown is more
than cosmetic, since a forced shutdown (like a Ctrl-C) may occasionally
leave the sockets allocated (which *has* happened.)
Later....Jet
