Here is another one for fun, you run it like
python countdown.py 10
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from time import sleep
times = int(sys.argv[1]) # The argument given on the command line
def countdown(n):
try:
while n != 1:
n = n-1
print n
sleep(1)
finally:
print 'Blast Off!'
countdown(times)

Thank you all for all your valuable input on this. I have learned so
much on this particular subject
in such a short time. David, I ran your code, and noticed that given
countdown(10) your countdown
starts at 9 and Blastoff takes place after 1, not 0. To fix that, I changed
while n ! = 1
to
while n != 0
and changed
n = n - 1
print n
to
print n
n = n -1
Thanks for the time you guys have put into this. It's much appreciated. :-)
Dayo
