I downloaded and compiled Python 2.4.1 this evening, and the granularity of
sleep hasn't changed on my system... maybe it's a kernel limitation? Hrm...
Despite my pitiful C knowledge, I found a code snippet I modified to make a
command-line "msleep" command which sleeps for 1 millisecond & exits, and
called that with an os.system('msleep') call. The best I could get then is
around 32 samples for second, so that seemed "marginally less efficient"
calling my msleep command thru the OS compared to the "realtime usleep"
function I downloaded earlier to run on Python 2.2.2. The realtime package
wouldn't compile with Python 2.4.1 (not that it did me much good before... ;-).

I'm downloading the source to wxPython now, there is a wx.usleep function
in there. As I mentioned, it seems a bit'o'overkill to me, but what the
heck, in for a penny, in for a pound, eh? ;^>
I'll let y'all know how it turns out...
Laterz,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
