Run gets called only once: you need to put your logic in a "while True"
or something equivalent/define some escape clause.
Right now you just get into the implicit "else" and get out.
hg
import time
global g_datum
global g_rawfile
global g_rawtext
global g_overs
global g_currentover
global g_secondspertick
g_secondspertick=5
g_datum=time.time()
g_currenttick=1
#g_rawfile=open('inputashes.txt','r')
#g_rawtext=g_rawfile.read()
#g_overs=g_rawtext.split('<P>')
g_currentover=0
class ImapThread(threading.Thread):
def run(self):
while True:
global g_currenttick
if time.time() > (g_datum + (g_secondspertick *
g_currenttick)):
print "Ticked %s" % g_currenttick
g_currenttick=g_currenttick+1
print g_currenttick
sys.stdout.flush()
else:
print 'HERE'
time.sleep(0.01)
def main():
ImapThread().start()
while 1:
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
