An elegant periodic task executor
Timeloop is a service that can be used to run periodic tasks after a certain interval.
Each job runs on a separate thread and when the service is shut down, it waits till all tasks currently being executed are completed.
here
pip install timeloop
import timefrom timeloop import Timeloop from datetime import timedelta
tl = Timeloop()
@tl.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=2)) def sample_job_every_2s(): print "2s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())
@tl.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=5)) def sample_job_every_5s(): print "5s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())
@tl.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=10)) def sample_job_every_10s(): print "10s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())
By default timeloop starts in a separate thread.
Please do not forget to call
tl.stopbefore exiting the program, Or else the jobs wont shut down gracefully.
tl.start()while True: try: time.sleep(1) except KeyboardInterrupt: tl.stop() break
Doing this will automatically shut down the jobs gracefully when the program is killed, so no need to call
tl.stop
python tl.start(block=True)
