The you have to go for a thread, as otherwise you'd have to create all sorts of checks in your program to check for the current date. That therad then could wait like this: import time def seconds(): return time.localtime()[5] def wait_for_seconds(secs=0): while seconds() != secs: time.sleep(.5) def foo(): # initial wait wait_for_seconds() do_something() while True: time.sleep(50) wait_for_seconds do_something() Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
