Can periodic Python tasks be installed?

[lowenthalm]

I want to record camera cooler behavior periodically, probably every 30 seconds or so. Is there a way of installing Python script or function object that is called periodically?

Hi,

not sure if it is possible with raw python, but you have the whole of the .NET framework class library available to you because it is IronPython, so somethinf like this will work

Code: Select all

clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")
from System.Windows.Forms import Timer
def tick(sender,args):
 	print ("hello")
t = Timer()
t.Interval = 30000
t.Tick += tick
t.Start()
#later
t.Stop()

cheers,

Robin
