hi I am trying to write a program to read data from a site url. The program must read the data from site every 5 minutes.
def get_data_from_site(pageurlstr): h=urllib.urlopen(pageurlstr) data=h.read() process_data(data) At first, I thought of using the sched module ,but then it doesn't look right adding so many scheduler.enter() statements.The program is supposed to execute the above function every 5 minutes until the application is shut down by the user. I created an infinite loop while True: print time.asctime() get_data_from_site('http://somesite.com/') time.sleep(300) Is there a better way to do this?Any suggestions ,pointers most welcome thanks harry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
