Hi all:
>From my experience with os's.
Time is updated at intervals- they may be as low as 1mS See . So for that
millisecond multiple readings of the time will always return the same
result. Therefore time.time() < time.time() will be false for most readings.
However the result could be true if you catch the exact time when the os
updates its clock. It will only be True for a single execution of the line
and you will have to be lucky to catch it at just the right time.
Of course if you hard loop over the interval its possible to see the
transition.
for x in xrange (10000):
t = time.time()
if t < time.time:
print "transition at ", t
Enjoy.
