Hi all, I'm trying to launch a function at regular time intervals but cannot find the way to do it. Here is the code I wrote (time_interval is a user defined variable in seconds):
while(1) timestamp=datetime.now() timestamp_seconds=timestamp.hour*3600+timestamp.minute*60+timestamp.second if timestamp_seconds % time_interval == 0: ****Call Function**** This does not work because during the second at which the condition holds true, there is time to call the function several times. Since I want to have this function called only once every x seconds, I tried to add the following condition: if timestamp_seconds % time_interval ==0 & timestamp.microsecond == 0 But it seems this second condition hardly ever happens (i.e. the timestamp variable is not updated every microsecond, therefore it can be 9998 then jump directly to 0003 for instance). Has anyone run into a similar problem (and solved it) ? Thanks for your help -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
