You should check out the sched module for scheduling tasks. <code> import sched, time domains = ["au", "ca", "nl", "be", "ru", "us", "de"] s = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.time) def do_query(query, domain): search.query = "%s site:.%s" % (query, domain) try: result = search.parse_results() except SearchError, e: print >> sys.stderr, e else: print >> k, result for domain in domains: s.enter(2, 1, do_query, domain) s.run() </code> YMMV -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
