A little context would be helpful. If you are writing a standalone app that just needs to wait 30 minutes, then do something, use time.sleep(). If the program needs to be able to do something else at the same time as the timer is running, you will have to put the sleep() call in a separate thread. threading.Timer will do this for you, see this recipe for an example of its use: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/440476 If you are running in a GUI app, the GUI toolkit may have a timer you can use, for example in Tkinter widgets have an after() method that schedules a callback for a future time; wxPython has wx.FutureCall. http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x9507-alarm-handlers-and-other.htm http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.FutureCall-class.html Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
