Dave, > Can you expand on what you are trying to accomplish with this?
There is a small 433 MHz rf transmitter connected to the pin, and when I send the right pattern a wireless wall-wart will respond and switch a lamp on or off. Its just ment as an example of a real-world application of Python, nothing serious. Ofcourse, by doing so I'm learning about how to use python (and the Pi) myself too. :-) > It seems a small C program or library you interface python too is a better > solution. :-) I already wrote that program in C{something} (I'm not sure what my Pi offers by default) a while ago, but "ported" it to python. For the above mentioned "example" reason. ... Which is also why I didn't even try to just shell to that program, or try to interface with a C{something} library. Though doing such interfacing is in the pipeline (I've already found-and-stored some documentation about it). Regards, Rudy Wieser -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
