The Python standard library that ships with Python and is documented on python.org.

A timer based loop is actually the standard pattern for implementing a loop in an event driven environment (the main alternative is to launch a background thread). It's how most GUIs handle such scenarios. The problem in a CLI solution is that you have to build your own timer event system (usually based on time.sleep() or similar). Hence the suggestion to use a GUI. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
