[Tutor] regexing and timing, seperatly

07 Oct 2002 22:18:56 -0700

1.  I can't seem to find a simple tutorial or example on timing.  I want
an infinite loop but I don't want it to eat all my cpu time.  I've
looked at a few programs that use tkinter and root.mainloop() but I
can't imagine there aren't some other ways that don't involve tkinter. 
So if anybody knows where I can find a decent tutorial or has some
sample code, that would be great.

2.  I'm taking data from a telnet session (using telnetlib) but I can't
seem to do regexs on it.  Here's an example:

this result from this code:

print "***searching data, data at this moment contains***"
print data
import re
m = re.match("Player", data)
if m:
    print 'Match found: ', m.group()
else:
    print 'No match'

***searching data, data at this moment contains***

You may notice that the word player is in the string, but it still
returns no match.  Any ideas?
