set_timeout/clear_timeout and set_interval/clear_intervalimplemented with the threading module.
Project description
hiatus
Hiatus is a python library that uses the threading module’s “Timer” to implement analogues to javascript’s setTimeout/clearTimeout and setInterval/clearInterval.
These functions may be used as decorators. Also important is that the python analogues take time arguments in seconds, not milliseconds, in order to be consistent with the standard library.
A Caveat:
Much of python does not “play nice” with threading. You have been warned.
(I looked into a signal-based approach, but this is limited. Another approach would be to depend on an event loop, such as twisted.reactor.)
Examples:
>>> from hiatus import set_interval >>> @set_interval(1.00) ... def dave_grohl(): ... print "THE BEST" ... >>> THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST
>>> def note(): ... print "HUGE SUCCESS"... >>> hiatus.set_timeout(lambda: hiatus.clear_interval(glados), 6.0) <hiatus.set_timeout object at 0xb770468c> >>> glados = hiatus.set_interval(note, 1.000) >>> HUGE SUCCESS HUGE SUCCESS HUGE SUCCESS HUGE SUCCESS
