This is a guess, for your device, but I suspect something along these lines: t = Ao_timer() cb = t.after(100,thing_that_does_the_work(with_its_arguments)) Lots of assumptions here - the 100 should give you a tenth of a second... Don't know what the arguments look like, and if you need to pass an instance (like self) - that would depend on where you are calling it from. Play and see :-) You should also be able to cancel the callback like this: t.cancel(cb) If you do it before the time out - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
