Gary,

Just to echo what others have said: this is all insane.

There are much better ways of communicating with other processes and 
spawning them off. In Zope 2.9, you have Python 2.4's subprocess module 
which will let you set up nice pipes to communicate without opening 
unnecessary gaping security holes.

Even so, there are other examples of using spell checkers which will 
help you a little in the don't-blow-my-foot-off department...

cheers,

Chris
