Time as stopping condition of infinite loop

Question

# run infinitly
while(True):

  done = False;

  while(not done):
    #Do Stuff
    #Main Program

    #stopping condition of inner while loop
    if datetime.datetime.n         


        

Answer 1

There are various ways to do it, but keeping close to your original design, I'd code the inner loop as:

while(not done):
    if datetime.datetime.now().minute % 10 == 0:
        done = True
    else:
        time.sleep(60-datetime.datetime.now().second)

(I'm assuming what you were trying to do with that second if was sleep until the next minute when you weren't ready to exit the loop.)
