tkscheduler 0.1.0

A timer/scheduler for Tkinter, built to function similarly to PyQt's QTimer

TkScheduler

TkScheduler is a simple timer/scheduler for Tkinter, akin to PyQt's QTimer. It is designed to function similarly and I am building it mostly for use in my own text editor written in Tkinter. However, if you want a feature, I am always open to suggestions if you get me interested enough in an idea that's practical.

Usage

The scheduler provides two core methods: start() and stop().

It is designed for lightweight scheduling tasks such as autosave, linting debounce, and periodic UI updates in Tkinter applications.

Available options:

option	description	default	form
root	Tkinter root instance used for scheduling	required	parameter when initializing class
fn	callback function executed on timeout	None	property
interval	delay in milliseconds between executions	0	property & parameter of start()
singleShotState	if True, runs only once; if False, repeats	False	property
isActive	returns whether a timer is currently scheduled	derived (read-only)	function that gets the internal active state

Installing

This software comes as a pip package hosted on PyPI.
