Howdy peeps.
Not really much of a release, so not much fanfare, but in the
interests of sharing effort I give you...
Powernap!
http://dis-dot-dat.net/?item=code/powernap/
If, like me, you need to drive an app from a Python interface,
powernap can help. It's a small extension that switches to the
real-time scheduler and provides two handy sleep-like functions:
nap() naps for a given number of milliseconds, timed with the RTC
rnap() is a "rolling nap" that tries to make the time between calls
the given number of milliseconds. A padding nap, if you will.
It works for me and it might come in handy for someone else.
