例如:显示当前本地时间

import datetime
import glib
import logger

def get_local_time():
    current_time = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M")
    logger.info("get_local_time(): %s",current_time)
    return str(current_time)

def display_local_time():
    logger.info("Current time is: %s", get_local_time())
    return True

# call every minute
glib.timeout_add(60*1000, display_local_time)

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

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()

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()

另一种灵活性解决方案是Apscheduler。

pip install apscheduler

from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BlockingScheduler
def print_t():
  pass

sched = BlockingScheduler()
sched.add_job(print_t, 'interval', seconds =60) #will do the print_t work for every 60 seconds

sched.start()

另外，apscheduler提供了如下所示的许多调度程序。

BlockingScheduler: use when the scheduler is the only thing running in your process BackgroundScheduler: use when you’re not using any of the frameworks below, and want the scheduler to run in the background inside your application AsyncIOScheduler: use if your application uses the asyncio module GeventScheduler: use if your application uses gevent TornadoScheduler: use if you’re building a Tornado application TwistedScheduler: use if you’re building a Twisted application QtScheduler: use if you’re building a Qt application

一个可能的答案是:

import time
t=time.time()

while True:
    if time.time()-t>10:
        #run your task here
        t=time.time()
