how to Running a particular funtion at a regular interval of time

[neeru29]

I'm executing two function in a program in a infinite loop.

In that loop i want run a particular a particular function which is out side the function, but that function also runs simultaneously with that function.

when i tried with the threading.Timer (), the function that is to be executed, it throws an exception as cannot start another thread of that function. As that function is already running in the loop.

Can u provide me the solution ASAP.

Thanks in advance......

I don't know if I can help you, but you would be more likely to receive help if you posted your code.

Would you care to share your solution with us in case someone else has this problem?

yaa sure....

import time 
the_time = time.time()
Timer_Counter = 30

def sample(request)
    global the_time
    elapsed_time = time.time() - the _time
    if elapsed_time < 0
         do.....something or call a function
         the_time() = time.time()

Here the Sample function runs in infinite loop.
after every 30 seconds the some other code also executes....

Thank you for sharing. I added code tags around your code. That makes it easier to read and the indentation is preserved.
