PyTimer2 is a simple Python countdown timer package that offers start, pause, resume, and stop functionalities. This tool is perfect for managing timed tasks, creating simple scheduling systems, or integrating into larger applications where precise countdown control is required.

Features

• Start Countdown: Initiate a countdown for a specified duration.
• Pause Countdown: Pause the countdown at any moment without losing the current time.
• Resume Countdown: Resume the countdown from where it was paused.
• Stop Countdown: Completely stop the countdown and reset the timer.
