Thanks all for your answers. As suggested by Dave and Frank, I am
indeed looking for the main program to continue running in the
background (I have several functions I want to launch, each at a
predefined time interval). I like Frank's solution, on the paper it
seems it would do what I am looking for, but I cannot succeed in
having it working. I guess I've been stuck with this problem for too
long and can't succeed in using my brain accurately anymore... ;-)
I defined the class as defined by Frank, and I then inserted the
following code in a While True loop, without any other code (the idea
is just to test Frank's solution before really using it in my
program):
func = MyFunction()
func.start()
func.stop()
func.join()
However I'm not getting the expected behavior. It's not taking into
account the 30 sec wait, the function is called again and again
without any time interval... Any idea ?
Again, thanks a lot.
Why don't you include the code you're actually trying, instead of just
trying to describe it. Frank's class didn't call any function, it just
had a place to do it. So we really don't know what you're running, nor
what about it is wrong.
Perhaps a few well placed print statements?
