Run a python function every second

Question

What I want is to be able to run a function every second, irrelevant of how long the function takes (it should always be under a second). I\'ve considered a number of option

Answer 1

How about this: After each run, sleep for (1.0 - launch interval) seconds. You can change the terminate condition by changing while True:. Although if the your function takes more than 1 second to run, this will go wrong.

from time import time, sleep

while True:
    startTime = time()
    yourFunction()
    endTime = time()-startTime
    sleep(1.0-endTime)
