Hello,<br><br>With the time module and sleep(60)?<br><a href="http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-datetime.html">http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-datetime.html</a><br><br><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Suspend execution for the given number of seconds. The argument may
be a floating point number to indicate a more precise sleep time.
The actual suspension time may be less than that requested because any
caught signal will terminate the <tt class="function">sleep()</tt> following
execution of that signal's catching routine. Also, the suspension
time may be longer than requested by an arbitrary amount because of
the scheduling of other activity in the system.<br><br>Wim<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/16/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">frank h.</b> <<a href="mailto:frank.hoffsummer@gmail.com">frank.hoffsummer@gmail.com
