Python equivalent code is acting strange

[dvreed77]

I am trying to implement one of the starter circuits using your library. This simple Arduino code, causes the LED to light up brightly and blink accordingly (everything seems correct):

void loop(){
 digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
 delay(1000);
 digitalWrite(13, LOW); 
 delay(1000); 
}

But this Python code, causes the LED to blink correctly, but is very dim with the exact same circuit:

from Arduino import Arduino
import time

board = Arduino('9600') #plugged in via USB, serial com at rate 9600
board.pinMode(13, "OUTPUT")

while True:
 board.digitalWrite(13, "LOW")
 time.sleep(1)
 board.digitalWrite(13, "HIGH")
 time.sleep(1)

Any ideas what could cause this?

I have also experienced this, having extensively combed through the source code i have NO idea what could be causing it, i have forked this library and i still experience this bug from time to time.

Are you able to reproduce yours with a 100% success rate or does it only happen on occasion?

I'm looking into this now, though I am having some trouble reproducing it. I'll see what I can do.
