If you have a "master" process running -- it strongly depends on how that process is structured. Is there a main loop? What does it look like? Is it provided by some toolkit? Maybe that toolkit has an alarm event? In the end, there isn't much too it: periodically check if "it's time", and then possibly do something. I doubt there's a package to do this. The basics are trivial to implement, and everything depends strongly on the program structure, which could vary greatly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
