[Tutor] Time help

[MBussell at aol.com]

I am playing with the Time Module, and was attempt to write a script which 
would tell me when a specific time was reached.

I am using the integer number of seconds since the epoch.  This is what I 
have:

def test():
    now = 1086017720.0
    current = time.time()
    print current
    while now<>current:
        current = time.time()
        print current
    print "now is acheived!"

The problem is the count continues past the specific time.

Thanks,
MB
