python defining an interval code example

Example 1: how to run a function in interval in python

# this makes program sleep in intervals
from time import time, sleep
while True:
    sleep(1 - time() % 1) # run every 1 second... you can change that
	# thing to run

Example 2: how to set interval in python

# This runs test() function in intervals of 1 second
from threading import Timer
run = True
def test():
	global run
	print("something")
	if run:
		Timer(1, test).start()

test()
# now whenever you set run to False the test function won't run anymore
# and of course if you dont set it to False it will run forever
