[Tutor] RExec woes

[lonetwin]

Hey Scott,
  Dunno anything about rexec expect that there is a HOWTO about it at:
http://py-howto.sourceforge.net/rexec/rexec.html

also from the rexec doumentation:
at http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/rexec-objects.html
under
16.1.1 RExec Objects
 ......
 ......

 """Methods whose names begin with "s_" are similar to the functions 
beginning with "r_", but the code will be granted access to restricted 
versions of the standard I/O streams sys.stdin, sys.stderr, and sys.stdout."""
 ......


Hope that is what you were looking for (things do slip by once in a while I 
guess :))

Peace
Steve
