我想在Python中每60秒重复执行一个函数(就像Objective C中的NSTimer或JS中的setTimeout)。这段代码将作为守护进程运行,有效地类似于使用cron每分钟调用python脚本,但不需要用户设置。

在这个关于用Python实现的cron的问题中,解决方案似乎只有效地使()休眠x秒。我不需要这么高级的功能,所以也许这样的东西可以工作

while True:
    # Code executed here
    time.sleep(60)

这段代码是否存在任何可预见的问题?

下面是MestreLion对代码的更新,它可以避免随着时间的推移而漂移。

这里的RepeatedTimer类按照OP的请求每隔“间隔”秒调用给定函数;调度并不取决于函数执行的时间。我喜欢这个解决方案,因为它没有外部库依赖关系;这是纯python。

import threading 
import time

class RepeatedTimer(object):
  def __init__(self, interval, function, *args, **kwargs):
    self._timer = None
    self.interval = interval
    self.function = function
    self.args = args
    self.kwargs = kwargs
    self.is_running = False
    self.next_call = time.time()
    self.start()

  def _run(self):
    self.is_running = False
    self.start()
    self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)

  def start(self):
    if not self.is_running:
      self.next_call += self.interval
      self._timer = threading.Timer(self.next_call - time.time(), self._run)
      self._timer.start()
      self.is_running = True

  def stop(self):
    self._timer.cancel()
    self.is_running = False

示例用法(摘自MestreLion的回答):

from time import sleep

def hello(name):
    print "Hello %s!" % name

print "starting..."
rt = RepeatedTimer(1, hello, "World") # it auto-starts, no need of rt.start()
try:
    sleep(5) # your long-running job goes here...
finally:
    rt.stop() # better in a try/finally block to make sure the program ends!

其他回答

如果你想要一种非阻塞的方式来周期性地执行你的函数,而不是阻塞无限循环,我会使用线程计时器。这样,您的代码可以继续运行并执行其他任务,并且仍然每n秒调用一次您的函数。我经常使用这种技术打印长时间、CPU/磁盘/网络密集型任务的进度信息。

下面是我在类似问题中发布的代码,带有start()和stop()控件:

from threading import Timer

class RepeatedTimer(object):
    def __init__(self, interval, function, *args, **kwargs):
        self._timer     = None
        self.interval   = interval
        self.function   = function
        self.args       = args
        self.kwargs     = kwargs
        self.is_running = False
        self.start()

    def _run(self):
        self.is_running = False
        self.start()
        self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)

    def start(self):
        if not self.is_running:
            self._timer = Timer(self.interval, self._run)
            self._timer.start()
            self.is_running = True

    def stop(self):
        self._timer.cancel()
        self.is_running = False

用法:

from time import sleep

def hello(name):
    print "Hello %s!" % name

print "starting..."
rt = RepeatedTimer(1, hello, "World") # it auto-starts, no need of rt.start()
try:
    sleep(5) # your long-running job goes here...
finally:
    rt.stop() # better in a try/finally block to make sure the program ends!

特点:

只有标准库,没有外部依赖 即使计时器已经启动/停止,也可以安全地多次调用Start()和stop() 要调用的函数可以有位置参数和命名参数 您可以随时更改间隔,它将在下次运行后生效。args、kwargs甚至function也一样!

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

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

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))

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()
