I am working on a framework for data acquisition in Python 2.5, am trying to get a structure going more like this:
mark start time start event event finishes count time until next interval start second event… rather than this: start event event finishes sleep for interval start second event Do you see the difference? I get a true fixed interval from the first, including the time to accomplish the event task(s). In the second case, the sleep just gets tacked on at the end of the events, not very deterministic (timing-wise). So how do I accomplish this in Python with a minimum of labour? Thanks for any light you can shed on my darkness... wave_man -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
