Hey there,
i have a simple question about getting a script to do
two things at once.
like this.


for i in range(100):
print i
time.sleep(.2)
if i == 15:
os.system('python /home/me/ipupdate.py')
print 'done'

when i run this, it stops at 15 and runs the script called out in the os.system line. i know it is supposed to do that. But, how could i get a script to do this without stopping the count (or delaying it unill the script called exits) I don' t have to run it this way, i can import it if necessary as a module. or whatever will work so i can execute two things at once.

thanks
