Hi Philip,


(I feel like I've answered this question several times already... *grin*)

If you're using the livewires package, use livewires's version of sleep().
So instead of:


    time.sleep(3)

just say:

    sleep(3)


The function you're using now, time.sleep(), actually conflicts with the
graphical subsystem in Livewires.


If you have the time, please email the Livewires folks and request that
they emphasize the time.sleep()-vs-livewires.sleep() issue in their
documentation.


Good luck to you!
