[Tutor] problems with time.sleep()

[Bunting, Glen, IG (x)]

Hi,

Below is a script that I am trying to write.  Basically it grabs a url and
downloads a file, calculates the speed of the download and place the speed
and time in a dictionary.  The next step to figure out a way to use Tkinter
to graph the results.  The problem I'm getting is it is not printing out the
list that is in the dictionary, and gives no error for that, and the
time.sleep() function fails.  I am on windows NT using ActivePython.  The
script, output, and errors are below.  Any improvements would be
appreciated.

Thanks
Glen

urllib.urlretrieve('http://theworks.tucows.com/files3/cooolftp.exe',
                           'test')

                print second
                final = second - first
                print final
                speed1 = 1622/final
                speed = round(speed1, 1)
                print speed
                time = strftime("%X", localtime())
                print time
