Yet another precision timer for Python
- Support better precision than just using sleep() in a loop.
- Will be fired at almost exact timing. (e.g: not 12:00:00.35, exact 12:00:00.00)
$ pip install ptimer
from ptimer import repeat
from datetime import datetime
def foo():
print "hello", datetime.now()
if __name__ == "__main__":
repeat(foo, 10)
... And its result
$ python test.py
hello 2013-04-09 02:41:57.003137
