I’m trying to run a python script to check wether the count of iterations of the Kangaroo solver has changed within a specific time frame.
The idea behind that is to have a component that indicates wether a Kangaroo solver is running or not. I want to use that component in an algortihm with several Kangaroo solvers, so that I don’t have to turn them individually on and off everytime I’m changing something at the beginning.
I cannot let them run as the file is quite heavy, thus I run them seperately.
So I did some research on Python and wrote the following code:
import time
s = 1.0
def check():
prev_x = None
while True:
if prev_x != x:
print("False")
else:
print("True")
prev_x = x
time.sleep(s)
return prev_x
check()
Unfortunately its not working as the output does not change between True and False when I start or stop the solver.
Yet, I’m a bloody beginenr in Python so maybe someone with more expertise could help ?
Thanks in advance !
This is an entirely different approach, but does just that:
Edit: Also, have a look at the links here regarding solving what you were doing, they demonstrate different approaches to making persistent variables that will be useful for you GHPythoning
oh wow, well seems like a big step for a Python beginner but maybe that’s the perfect start to finally tackle it properly !!
Thanks again, perfect input
