Re: [Tutor] time.sleep() error
geon napsal(a): sunny sunny napsal(a): Hi all, I am using time.sleep to stop my program execution for some time. I have imported time and am able to use it sucessfully in the main program. However if I use it in any function I get the following error: the time.sleep(1) command generates this error : TypeError : 'int' object is not callable Dont you actually have something like this?: from time import * # somewhere you use sleep like this sleep=10 # and then sleep(1) # you get: #sleep(1) #TypeError: 'int' object is not callable In this case you "overwrite" the original function sleep() with your/my variable sleep Solution: rename your/my variable sleep to f.e. notAwake=10 :-) Solution2: do not use from time import *. Prefer import time. Now you know why :-) Its not a waste of time still to rewrite you code in this way. -- geon ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] time.sleep() error
Some additional information: I am calling this function from a thread and I get the error. However if I call the function from the main program it works fine. I am using thread.start_new_thread() to start the thread. Thanks. Santosh.

Please help. It looks like somehow the name time.sleep has been bound to an integer. Please post the code and the full error trace.
