Python脚本使用cpu过多

Question

I'm not an expert in programming so i googled a lot to get this script to work. It listens on the serial interface ans is searching for 3 values (temperature, humidity and battery level). If it finds one of zhem it saves it to a text file and checks if the value is above or under a certain level. I f this is the case it sends an e-mail to warn.

My problem is that it uses constatntly about 99% of cpu power... Can you help me to limit the CPU usage to a minimum.

Thanks

Answer 1

I solved the question myself.

The while ser.inWaiting(): loop was causing the heavy cpu load. I removed it and corrected the indentation and it works great with a few % cpu load.

Thanks for your hints, it helped me solving the problem.
