Thanks for the reply Alan. I'm unfamiliar on both methods you suggested.
Can
you give me examples with code of them?
Yes:
In a console(untested):
#############
x = 0
try:
while True:
x += 1
print x
sleep(0.1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print 'stopped'
#############
in a GUI using tkinter(tested) but wxpython should be similar, it
definitely has a timer.
###############
from Tkinter import *
# global vars
total = 0
stop = False
def counter():
global total, stop
if stop == False:
print "Starting..."
for n in range(50):
total += 1
result['text'] = "Total = %09s" % total
print "Total = %09s" % total
# set timer to call again after 100ms
tk.after(100, counter)
else: print "Stopped"
def doStop():
global stop
stop = True
tk = Tk()
result = Label(tk, text="Not started yet")
result.pack()
Button(tk,text="Start", command=counter).pack()
Button(tk, text="Stop", command=doStop).pack()
tk.mainloop()
