We are having issues with code for initializing COM for threading leaking into several different projects. The issue is that if you want to use COM inside Zope you have to call pythoncom.CoInitializeEx, hopefully as the very first thing after a thread gets created. Mark Hammond suggested that we add the call to this at the point threads get created in Zope. I thought that the non-intrusive way of doing this would be to have some sort of 'thread initialization hook' that gets called as soon as a thread gets created to service a request. Anyone have a better suggestion? -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems http://enfoldsystems.com Fax +1 832 201 8856 Office +1 713 942 2377 Ext 214
