The problem, that: - I want to process 100-200 MB zip files. - I want to abort in process - I want to know the actual position - I want to slow the operation sometimes! Why I want to slow? The big archiving is slow operation. When it is slow, I want to working with other apps while it is processing. So I want to slow the zipping with time.sleep, then the background thread is not use the full CPU... I can work with other apps. dd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
