FC 10/KDE
I'm trying to set a simple Alarm Clock in FC10 and I have a Python script I picked up, but I have error, running the script. Can you explain to me with # comments on each line how to make this work.
import time import os
not_executed = 1
while(not_executed): dt = list(time.localtime(time.time()) hour = dt[3] minute = dt[4] if hour == 5 and minute == 45: os.popen2("open /Users/jun/shout.mp3") not_executed = 0
Error Message;
$ python AlarmClock File "AlarmClock", line 7 dt = list(time.localtime(time.time()) ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block
It's because of Python's always charming significant whitespace. I.E. Python uses indenting instead of braces, making problems like this extremely common. (No sane language even has "IndentationErrors". Also, you were missing a paren, but that's not what caused the error above.
A correct version is attached. Hopefully it will not get mangled by your client.
