Wrapper for threading.Timer
to provide a resettable Timer implementation. Also provides fake timer for testing.
from resettabletimer import ResettableTimer
delay = 5 # seconds
function = print
# Create resettable timer
t = ResettableTimer(delay, function, ["Hello"], {"end":" timer!\n"})
# Starting and canceling work similarly than with threading.Timer
t.start()
# Wait 1-5 seconds
# Reset the timer
t.reset()
# Hello should be printed after five seconds
from resettabletimer import FakeTimer
t = FakeTimer(2, print, ["Hello"], {"end":" timer!\n"})
# Starting and canceling work similarly than with threading.Timer
t.start()
# Wait >2 seconds
# Nothing happens
# Time passage is controlled with pass_time
t.pass_time(2)
# Hello should be printed
