Timeloop is a service that can be used to run periodic tasks after a certain interval.
Each job runs on a separate thread and when the service is shut down, it waits till all tasks currently being executed are completed.
Inspired by this blog here
pip install timeloopimport time
from timeloop import Timeloop
from datetime import timedelta
tl = Timeloop()
@tl.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=2))
def sample_job_every_2s():
print "2s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())
@tl.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=5))
def sample_job_every_5s():
print "5s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())
@tl.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=10))
def sample_job_every_10s():
print "10s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())By default timeloop starts in a separate thread.
Please do not forget to call tl.stop before exiting the program, Or else the jobs wont shut down gracefully.
tl.start()
while True:
try:
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
tl.stop()
breakDoing this will automatically shut down the jobs gracefully when the program is killed, so no need to call tl.stop
