Activestate Python 2.2.1, Windows 2000
I'm working on a script that uses time.sleep() but have found that on my =
installation, any sleep value over a few seconds seems to hang the =
script. Not only does it not seem to respond anymore, it doesn't =
respond to ctrl+c.
Anybody else having this problem? Did I find a bug or could I just be =
doing something stupid?
My code, just in case:
wait =3D None
=20
for o, a in opts:
if o in ("-t", "--time"):
wait =3D int(a) * 60
=20
while (1):
addr =3D socket.gethostbyname(socket.getfqdn())
print "The current address is", addr
time.sleep(wait * 60) =20
Tnx
Joel
