[Tutor] How to enable pausing my timer.py ? (original) (raw)

I just realized that my stopwatch was really a timer: you set it to beep after a length of time you enter; it stops and beeps when that time is up.

You could make it even more general purpose buy putting the guts of it in a function called say, doAfter()

def doAfter(t,f): ''' t is the time required and f is a function to be executed after t expires.'''

Thus in your current case you would call

doAfter( t, lambda : winsound.beep(500) )

Just a thought... :-)
