timed-count

timed-count provides an iterator that delays each iteration by a specified time period. It can be used to repeatedly execute code at a precise frequency.

timed-count is a good replacement for a loop that contains a call to time.sleep. It is precise, does not dependent on the loop execution time, and won't accumulate temporal drift.

Installation

Install from PyPI via:

pip install timed-count

Usage

Basic usage is as follows:

from timed_count import timed_count

for count in timed_count(0.5):
    # Prints at exactly every half a second
    print(count)

TimedCount(index=0, count=0.0, time=0.000, missed=False)
TimedCount(index=1, count=0.5, time=0.500, missed=False)
TimedCount(index=2, count=1.0, time=1.000, missed=False)
...
