knowsuchagency

In the beginning, there was the Imperative

It all started when a friend of mine asked for help on their introductory computer science class.

They had been assigned the task of writing a program that would ask a user to input a number of seconds, and then print how much time that was in terms of weeks, days, hours, and seconds.

For example,

knowsuchagency

# print to stdout in infinite loop

from datetime import datetime
from pathlib import Path
from time import sleep
from typing import List
import random
import json
import os

knowsuchagency

# This code was borrowed from David Beazley http://www.dabeaz.com/generators/follow.py
# Follow a file like tail -f.

import time
def follow(thefile):
    thefile.seek(0,2)
    while True:
        line = thefile.readline()
        if not line:
            time.sleep(0.1)
