The ActiveState recipe you mention above is not the one I meant, although it uses sched. I saw the recipe that I mentioned, in the print version of the Python Cookbook, when reading it a few days ago. The second link above you mention is right, its about the sched library. Also just found these other recipes in the online Python Cookbook, may or may not be of help to you: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/496800 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/114644 Vasudev Ram www.dancingbison.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
