t.start()
# Run stuff here.
t.stop()

Example 2: timer in python

import time, os

seconds_to_go_for = 10 # How long the timer will go for
current_time = int(time.time()) # Gets the time before the timer starts

def clear():
  if os.name == "nt":
    os.system("cls") # Clear function, to avoid spam. Source: geeksforgeeks.org
  else:
    os.system("clear")

while True:
  time_now = int(time.time()) # Gets time during the timer's running
  if time_now >= current_time + seconds_to_go_for: # Checks if enough time has passed
    break # Stops loop if so
  
  print(f"Seconds passed: {time_now - current_time}") # Prints how much time has passed
  clear()
print("The timer has ended")
