You could use threading.Timer
, but that also schedules a one-off event, similarly to the .enter
method of scheduler objects.
The normal pattern (in any language) to transform a one-off scheduler into a periodic scheduler is to have each event re-schedule itself at the specified interval. For example, with sched
, I would not use a loop like you're doing, but rather something like:
def periodic(scheduler, interval, action, actionargs=()):
scheduler.enter(interval, 1, periodic,
(scheduler, interval, action, actionargs))
action(*actionargs)
and initiate the whole "forever periodic schedule" with a call
periodic(scheduler, 3600, query_rate_limit)
Or, I could use threading.Timer
instead of scheduler.enter
, but the pattern's quite similar.
If you need a more refined variation (e.g., stop the periodic rescheduling at a given time or upon certain conditions), that's not too hard to accomodate with a few extra parameters.
