计时计数可以做到高精度(即< 1毫秒)，因为它与系统时钟同步。它不会随着时间的推移而漂移，也不受代码执行时间长度的影响(当然，前提是它小于间隔时间)。

一个简单的阻塞的例子:

from timed_count import timed_count

for count in timed_count(60):
    # Execute code here exactly every 60 seconds
    ...

你可以通过在线程中运行它来让它变得不阻塞:

from threading import Thread
from timed_count import timed_count

def periodic():
    for count in timed_count(60):
        # Execute code here exactly every 60 seconds
        ...

thread = Thread(target=periodic)
thread.start()

这里是另一个不使用任何额外库的解决方案。

def delay_until(condition_fn, interval_in_sec, timeout_in_sec):
    """Delay using a boolean callable function.

    `condition_fn` is invoked every `interval_in_sec` until `timeout_in_sec`.
    It can break early if condition is met.

    Args:
        condition_fn     - a callable boolean function
        interval_in_sec  - wait time between calling `condition_fn`
        timeout_in_sec   - maximum time to run

    Returns: None
    """
    start = last_call = time.time()
    while time.time() - start < timeout_in_sec:
        if (time.time() - last_call) > interval_in_sec:
            if condition_fn() is True:
                break
            last_call = time.time()

像这样将你的时间循环锁定到系统时钟上:

import time
starttime = time.time()
while True:
    print("tick")
    time.sleep(60.0 - ((time.time() - starttime) % 60.0))

我认为更简单的方法是:

import time

def executeSomething():
    #code here
    time.sleep(60)

while True:
    executeSomething()

这样，你的代码被执行，然后等待60秒，然后再次执行，等待，执行，等等…… 没有必要把事情复杂化:D

以下是MestreLion代码的改编版本。 除了原来的函数，这段代码:

1)添加用于在特定时间触发计时器的first_interval(调用者需要计算first_interval并传递进来)

2)在原代码中解决一个竞态条件。在原始代码中，如果控制线程未能取消正在运行的计时器(“停止计时器，并取消计时器动作的执行。这只会在计时器仍处于等待阶段时起作用。”引用自https://docs.python.org/2/library/threading.html)，计时器将无休止地运行。

class RepeatedTimer(object):
def __init__(self, first_interval, interval, func, *args, **kwargs):
    self.timer      = None
    self.first_interval = first_interval
    self.interval   = interval
    self.func   = func
    self.args       = args
    self.kwargs     = kwargs
    self.running = False
    self.is_started = False

def first_start(self):
    try:
        # no race-condition here because only control thread will call this method
        # if already started will not start again
        if not self.is_started:
            self.is_started = True
            self.timer = Timer(self.first_interval, self.run)
            self.running = True
            self.timer.start()
    except Exception as e:
        log_print(syslog.LOG_ERR, "timer first_start failed %s %s"%(e.message, traceback.format_exc()))
        raise

def run(self):
    # if not stopped start again
    if self.running:
        self.timer = Timer(self.interval, self.run)
        self.timer.start()
    self.func(*self.args, **self.kwargs)

def stop(self):
    # cancel current timer in case failed it's still OK
    # if already stopped doesn't matter to stop again
    if self.timer:
        self.timer.cancel()
    self.running = False

简单地使用

import time

while True:
    print("this will run after every 30 sec")
    #Your code here
    time.sleep(30)
