Given the following....
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import os
import time
import thread
def domsg(string, sleeptime, *args):
print "%s was here", string
#os.system('tel %s test' % person);
#time.sleep(sleeptime)
def buildlist():
out = 1
persons = []
while(out != 0):
pern = raw_input("Enter person to message:")
if (len(pern)):
persons.append(pern)
else:
out = 0
return persons
if __name__ == "__main__":
#buildlist()
thread.start_new_thread(domsg, ("person",2))
I get....
m-net% ./massmsg.py
m-net%
I was expecting to see
person was here
