是否有一种方法,例如,打印Hello World!每n秒? 例如,程序将遍历我所拥有的任何代码,然后在5秒后(使用time.sleep())执行该代码。我会用这个来更新文件,而不是打印Hello World。

例如:

startrepeat("print('Hello World')", .01) # Repeats print('Hello World') ever .01 seconds

for i in range(5):
    print(i)

>> Hello World!
>> 0
>> 1
>> 2
>> Hello World!
>> 3
>> Hello World!
>> 4

为自己省下一次精神分裂发作,使用高级Python调度器: http://pythonhosted.org/APScheduler

代码非常简单:

from apscheduler.scheduler import Scheduler

sched = Scheduler()
sched.start()

def some_job():
    print "Every 10 seconds"

sched.add_interval_job(some_job, seconds = 10)

....
sched.shutdown()

下面是一个不需要每n秒创建一个新线程的版本:

from threading import Event, Thread

def call_repeatedly(interval, func, *args):
    stopped = Event()
    def loop():
        while not stopped.wait(interval): # the first call is in `interval` secs
            func(*args)
    Thread(target=loop).start()    
    return stopped.set

该事件用于停止重复:

cancel_future_calls = call_repeatedly(5, print, "Hello, World")
# do something else here...
cancel_future_calls() # stop future calls

我对这个主题的拙见,是Alex Martelli的答案的概括,使用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!

import threading

def printit():
  threading.Timer(5.0, printit).start()
  print "Hello, World!"

printit()

# continue with the rest of your code

你可以启动一个单独的线程,它的唯一职责是数5秒,更新文件,重复。您不希望这个单独的线程干扰主线程。
