[Tutor] __getitem__

I understand that you can use __getitem__ as a hook to modify indexing behavoir in a class. That's why __getitem__ not only affects [] but also for loops, map calls, list comprehension, etc. For loops, etc. work by indexing a sequences from zero to a higher index until out-of-bounds is reached.

Hi again, I was going through the Python library documentation and I found something I never saw before. $ python -m pdb myscript.py This is what I was looking for! Great help. Any further reference could of course help a lot. I never was able to get the hang of it until now. Victor On Mon,

Re: [Tutor] timeout

If you just want a delay, as your empty loop pseudocode seems to do, use time.sleep() as Wim suggested. If you are processing in a loop and you want to stop processing after a certain amount of time, you could check time.time() each time through the loop and end when the allotted time has elaps
