Javascript-like setInterval/clearInterval for Python [duplicate]

Question

Does Python have a function similar to JavaScript's setInterval()?

I would like to have:

def set_interval(func, interval):
    ...

That will call func every interval time units.

Answer 1

This might be the correct snippet you were looking for:

import threading

def set_interval(func, sec):
    def func_wrapper():
        set_interval(func, sec)
        func()
    t = threading.Timer(sec, func_wrapper)
    t.start()
    return t
