This Python newb needs some image looping advice for the code extracts below. What is the best/easiest method to have a script simply rotate through fullscreen images in a loop (ala slideshow)? I've seen so many strange examples in scripts (that no longer work anyways) that I've confused myself. I had limited success with some very forced methods, but I would like to learn the recommended way now.

Code:

# extracted from MyClass
  def showImage(self):
       self.screen_image = xbmcgui.ControlImage(0,0, int(720*self.scaleX),int(480*self.scaleY), self.Pic)
       self.addControl(self.screen_image)
       time.sleep(10)
       #self.removeControl(self.screen_image)   # remove prevents domodal from seeing it.  Only use adds without removes?
       #self.close()  


# from main loop
w = MyClass()
try:
    X = 0
    while not w.dying:
        w.Pic = new_image_list[X]
        #w.showImage()              # Call it from here or in the Class init ???
        w.doModal()        
        x += 1
        if X == len(new_image_list):
            X = 0
except:
    print "Looping error"
del w

If you don't just want to use the slideshow, I would use the setImage() method.

I would probably use the threading.Timer class to call a function that uses setImage().
