well the command prompt (if it is called that way in Linus) is not returned.

When I run file_support, the command window looks like this
 >>>python file_support.py
..... all kinds of output
 >>>

When I run test.py (which calls fie_support) , I get this
 >>>python test.py
.... all kinds of output (the same as before)

Now I've to explicitly press an enter to get the command prompt back.
This might not sound important,
but the problem is somewhat more complex,
all these scripts are ran from another program,
and although everything works fine under windows,
the program hangs on Ubuntu.
So I guess that this is the (first) problem to solve.

thanks,
Stef
