The mailing list and newsgroup are working well enough, so if you
receive no useful answers it's likely because nobody could understand 
the question clearly enough to think how to answer.

One thing you might consider is including some actual samples of
code, so people don't have to imagine which of the five dozen
possible approaches you are actually using.

Also make sure you have tried other approaches to ensure that the
problem is actually with your own code and not with some host-specific
problem which nobody else will ever be able to reproduce locally.

Yet you were hopeful for answers? ;-)

Python includes excellent facilities for debugging problems of various
kinds, including this kind.  Why not experiment a little and see what you
can come up with?  It's unclear from your description where your problem 
might be so without additional information any suggestions are random 
shots-in-the-dark, and that I suspect is why no one responded yet.

Also, I just noticed, you waited only one day before your second post.
That's far too little time to wait, as for many people it can take 
several days for Usenet posts to reach them and, furthermore, you posted
at the end of the work week and many people read Usenet only at work.

Summary: experiment, post more and more detailed information, and be
more patient.
