Has anyone run into a similar problem (and solved it) ?
Yeah, here is my implementation as a perpetual timer based some cherrypy
code and threading timer.
import threading
class PerpetualTimer(threading._Timer):
"""A subclass of threading._Timer whose run() method repeats.
Based on cherrpy.process.plugins.PerpetualTimer
"""
def __init__(self, interval, function, name=None, daemon=False,
args=(), kwargs={}):
super(PerpetualTimer, self).__init__(interval, function, args,
kwargs)
self.setName(name)
self.setDaemon(daemon)
def run(self):
while True:
self.finished.wait(self.interval)
if self.finished.isSet():
return
self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
def stop(self, timeout=None):
self.cancel()
self.join(timeout)
def callback(egg):
egg.cook()
timer = PerpetualTimer(100, callback, name="EggTimer", args=(somegg,))
timer.start()
...
timer.stop()
