sleep - Python: Perform ations repeatedly over a time interval, as long as a condition is true -


so i'm trying (access file on website, read contents , perform actions until content says exit. precondition being has wait x seconds before accessing website again; recheck contents):

perform = true while(perform):  data = urllib.urlopen('someurl')  data = data.read()  if(data == '0'):   dosomething()  elif(data == '1'):   #1 signifies exit loop   perform = false  else:   time.sleep(10) 

however never seems work. 'someurl' has value. google says it's sleep function. please help!

this:

import time while true:     print "fetching"     time.sleep(10) 

is minimal test case , works can't problem time.sleep function
