Ok, when I do:
 >>>def print_time():
        print_time()

It hangs.

the code I linked to apparently works for the author and also for some 
others, but not for me. Admittedly they are using the Minecraftia.ttf 
font which gives me the IOError which posted about above this one.
I am presently using the NotoSerif-Regular.ttf font, and I only think 
that that is why nothing else happens.
