[Tutor] better resolution on time.sleep()?

2005-05-23 Thread Roger Merchberger
I'm running an application that has a polling loop to check a serial port for certain signals, and on my laptop I can get about 6700 samples per second, which (of course) consumes 100% CPU; which may impact battery life. BTW, I'm running Python 2.2.2 on my laptop... not had a need to upgrade yet
