Hello,

With the time module and sleep(60)?
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-datetime.html

sleep( secs)
Suspend execution for the given number of seconds. The argument may be a floating point number to indicate a more precise sleep time. The actual suspension time may be less than that requested because any caught signal will terminate the sleep() following execution of that signal's catching routine. Also, the suspension time may be longer than requested by an arbitrary amount because of the scheduling of other activity in the system.

Hello
how can I break a loop after a certain amount of time has passed?

pseudocode:

with timeout of 60sec:
    while True:
        pass

is there a simple way? without resorting to queues etc. (this is a bit
over my head....)
thanks for any insight you might have
