File reading across network (windows)

[Prof. William Battersea]

Hello,

Suppose I have a Vista machine called VISTA and an XP machine called
XP in a workgroup named WORKGROUP. Physically they're connected to a
router and I can see lists of public and shared files on each of them.
How do I address these for IO?

A search suggested that the form open(r"\\server\folder\folder"), but
I tried many combinations guessing what it wants for that path in my
case (r"\\WORKGROUP\VISTA", "\\VISTA\PUBLIC", etc), and none have
worked so far.

Thanks!

Using Timer or Scheduler in a Class

[Prof. William Battersea]

I'd like a class method to fire every n seconds.

I tried this:

class Timed:
def.__init__(self):
self.t = Timer(3, self.dothing)

def.start(self):
self.t.start()

def.dothing(self):
print "Doing Thing"

s = new Timed()
s.start()

And:

class Scheduled:
def.__init__(self):
self.s = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
self.s.enter(3, 1, self.sync, ())

def.start(self):
self.t.start()

def.dothing(self):
print "Syncing"

s = new Scheduled()
s.start()

Both run once and end. I'm obviously missing something here.

Thanks,

Justin
