The "time required to implement Python-level access to the hardware features" is simply the time required to delete the lines of code that raise an exception when demon is 0.0 > At any rate, the work-around should at least let you work on > the rest of the application, while a more efficient > implementation can be developed. A more efficient implementation? Just delete the code that raises the exception and the HW will do the right thing. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
