I can't recall what your initial project was. I think it was a text adventure. I imagine that you have bigger ideas regarding timers then your current code suggests. Maybe you should investigate a time aware long-running process. Twisted Python is such a beast.
While I can't recommend it's use as it's probably over your head and certainly over mine, there is some code out there for a text adventure using Twisted Python. I think the codebase is called Twisted Reality now. Luis _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
