Trying to use Timer in console based game that gives the user so much
time to act. If they do not act then it just passes the turn back to
the program to do the next thing. I have Python 2.5 and Windows XP.
http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/timer-objects.html
def hello():
print "hello, world"
t = Timer(30.0, hello)
TypeError:__init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)
Where is Timer defined?
If you used from threading import Timer you should not get that error.

Also tried this, but I think it might be outdated. When I type it
in it never triggers the function.
================================
so... this kind is where I am:
t=Timer(10.0)
def waitFunction(timerObj):
newMove = 5 #5 = player will stay in same position on 2d array
newMove = int(raw_input("Move 1-9 / 0 to
quit:"))
timerObj.start()
while timerObj.isAlive():
pass
print newMove
It works, but I am guessing it isn't a very good way to do it.
I am curious why I can't get anything to work from the docs.
Any help appreciated (and hopefully yahoo won't butcher my indentation).
