Hi thomas +,
What was supposed to be very simple task has ended up dissolving my brain and now I have no idea how to solve it so I'm asking on here.
What I am trying to accomplish is more or less this:
for x in xrange(x_upper-x_lower): for y in xrange(y_upper-y_lower): for z in xrange(z_upper-z_lower): self._outlet(1,x+x_lower) self._outlet(2,y+y_lower) self._outlet(3,z+z_lower)
All this does is step through each point in a 3D matrix of points, and output the coordinates of each point.
The catch is that I need to send out these messages with a variable delay between them. I tried using the thread example from pyext which works fine on all my machines but was crashing windows badly (I'm using this patch to control a serial control camera, and that camera only works on a particular windows machine at work.
So I thought I would rewrite the script without sleep() and use an external metro to drive it.
Now I can't figure out how to write a function that I call over and over again that is identical to the above code-block except doing only one iteration at a time.
If someone has an abstraction or a solution to this I'd be happy to see it. Unfortunatly the camera is locked away in a room at the University that I can't access over the weekend, so I would need to try and get this to work in the next 2 hours. :(
Thanks in advance, B.
PS: obviously any until/counter based solution will be great as well, but I had trouble getting that logic to work for me as well.
