wakeupKISS.py

I'm using my cell phone as wake up alarm in the morning. But in the last 4 weeks i've lost and destroyed my cell phone several times.(stupid) So I had to use my laptop as an wakeup alarm. But i didn't find any alarm apps that I liked. So i decided to write my own. I'm very new to programming so don't be to harsh. But I really would appreciate some feed back on the program. What have I'm done wrong, what have I done nasty and what have I done ok? is it KISS?

wakeupKISS is a cli app written in python, it's very straight forward. You put in the time you want the alarm to be set off, and when the alarm goes off it asks if you want to snooze.

It depends on pymedia(python-pymedia in aur) to play the sound. the sound is /usr/share/sounds/logout.wav witch comes with gnome(i think), but any wav-file works.

I've not looked at the script, but a suggestion -- check out the unix utility "at".  It's really nifty for this sort of thing

I'd use espeak to make it say "WAKE THE KISS UP!"

Re: wakeupKISS.py

You might want to consider putting time.sleep(10) in there
