mysteriously nonfunctioning script - very simple

[Sean McIlroy]

Fair enough. Here's the verbose version:

######################################################################
from time import sleep,time,localtime

wakeuptime = (7,00) 
## I WANT TO BE WOKEN UP AT 7AM (FOR EXAMPLE)

onehourlater = (wakeuptime[0]+1, wakeuptime[1]) 
## ONE HOUR LATER THAN THAT IS 8AM

while not wakeuptime < localtime(time())[3:5] < onehourlater: sleep(3)    
## CHECK THE CURRENT TIME EVERY 3 SECONDS, AND IF IT'S NOT BETWEEN
## 7AM AND 8AM, GO BACK TO SLEEP FOR ANOTHER 3 SECONDS

## CONTROL NEVER REACHES THIS POINT
######################################################################
