def call_again(n, func, *args):
"""call func(*args) every n seconds until ctrl-D"""
import time
try:
while 1:
start = time.time()
func(*args)
time.sleep(n - (time.time()-start))
Watch out for this -- you may want to do
time.sleep(n - max(0,(time.time()-start)))
to avoid passing sleep a negative number which causes the big sleep...
