Emile,
Thanks for quick response. I am not sure if "import
namelookup within namelooupWrapper" helps because they are two
independent scripts which has to be executed in sequence.
First namelookupWrapper.py running under Python 2.6 accept arguments
from stdin and uses csv reader object to read it i.e.
r=csv.reader(sys.stdin)

And then it has to pass csv reader object to another python script
namelookup.py running under Python 2.7 because it uses pyodbc to
connect to database and iterates thru reader object

Any better  ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated
