multitimer 0.1

Usage

$ pip install multitimer

import multitimer
import time

def job():
    print("I'm working...")

# This timer will run job() five times, one second apart
timer = multitimer.MultiTimer(interval=1, ontimeout=job, count=5)

# Pauses for one interval before starting job() five times
timer = multitimer.MultiTimer(interval=1, ontimeout=job, count=5, runonstart=False)


# You can specify input parameters for the ontimeout function
def job2(foo):
    print(foo)

timer = multitimer.MultiTimer(interval=1, ontimeout=job2, params={'foo':"I'm still working..."})

# Also, this timer would run indefinitely...
timer.start()

time.sleep(5)

# ...unless it gets stopped
timer.stop()


# If a mutable object is used to specify input parameters, it can be changed after starting the timer
output = {'foo':"Doin' my job again."}
timer = multitimer.MultiTimer(interval=1, ontimeout=job2, params=output, count=5)
timer.start()

time.sleep(3.5)
output['foo'] = "I'd like to be done now."

# And a MultiTimer can be re-started by just calling start() again
time.sleep(2)
output['foo'] = 'Please just let me be...'
timer.start()
time.sleep(4.5)
timer.stop()
