I need what I'd call (in .Net) a timer, ie I need to run a function eg every 2 seconds - it doesn't need to be millisec accurate but it would be nice if it wasn't eg every 4 seconds or something.
Rather surprisingly, Core Python (Chun) doesn't seem to index 'timer' or 'scheduler', which leaves me wondering whether this is an aspect of Python that isn't perhaps widely used? Looking around on the net I can see references to a thread timer, but I'm not really looking to start any new threads (I just want part of the GUI to update every 2 secs) and don't want to get into that sort of complication while still just learning Python. Is there really no simple timer/scheduler function available in Python? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
