timer event python code example

Example 1: how to run a function in 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

Example 2: python timer

import time
import os

a = int(0)
b = int(0)

while True:
    print(str(b) + " minutes " + str(a) + " seconds")
    a += 1
    time.sleep(0.9999999)
    if a == 59:
        a = 0
        b += 1
    os.system('cls')
