Post: RE: Upload takes too long.

Almost forgot. My code assumes the time in your file is always four digits e.g. 0930, not 930. If this is not the case time will not be parsed properly for times between 0000 and 1200.

Here is my example of just reading the csv into values and parsing the date. I have added code that will abort if it tries to read more than one line from a csv. Note that your code reads each line of...

Post: RE: Access a variable of a daemon

From a little google-fu, I think you might be better off using Pyro4. I haven't used it, but it looks more like what you want i.e. inter-process communication.

Post: RE: Upload takes too long.

So 21:48 was your local time? (Can you set your AWS to UTC? When dealing with instruments and data, UTC is king of the hill. No worries about conversion.)

Post an example of your csv and I'll help you parse the datetime. If you do not care about the accuracy of datetime to within five minutes, why care so much about uploading every five minutes? _shrug_...

Hmm. Can't find docs for python-daemon but I did a quick search of its code and found nothing called token_length. Have you written classes in python before? If you are accessing a daemon from a diffe...

I am assuming you have already tested the ftp from the command line or from a GUI? Have you tried utf-8 or ansi encoding?

My only dislike, really, is that sometimes the code is too vertical (i.e. laddered) if you adopt the most consistent coding style.
