The specific bit I'm looking at is this line the_timeout = setTimeout('writeTime();',500); basically it calls the function again in 500ms, but rather than pausing, I guess it spawns a new thread? I'm not really sure.
You might be able to use select() for this. Or if in a GUI environment just create a timer. Or create a thread and use sleep() within the thread. Just some ideas at 01:10am. So they are probably mince! Night all, Alan G _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
