[python-win32] Win32 WaitableTimers and Python?

[Graham Klyne]

Hi,

I've been hunting through the book "Python Programming on Win32", 
associated web pages, and Googling the web in general, without much 
success, for an indication of whether CreateWaitableTimer and friends can 
be used from Python; cf.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createwaitabletimer.asp

In particular, I'm looking to use timers to do periodic polling functions 
in a service process.  I think I can use win32api.sleep for now, but I 
don't like hogging a thread in this way.  Being a service process, I think 
the window-based timers are inappropriate (if not impossible) to use here.

Any thoughts?

(I'm not subscribed to this list, so please copy me on any comments.)

Thanks.
