Re: [pygtk] periodically perform an action

You can set a function to be called at regular intervals with gobject.timeout_add() http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/gobject-functions.html#function-gobject--timeout-add Make sure your callback (the function to be called) returns TRUE, otherwise it will be removed from the timeout list. ___ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
