本文实例讲述了python通过线程实现定时器timer的方法。分享给大家供大家参考。具体分析如下：

这个python类实现了一个定时器效果，调用非常简单，可以让系统定时执行指定的函数

下面介绍以threading模块来实现定时器的方法。

使用前先做一个简单试验：

import threading
def sayhello():
    print \"hello world\"
    global t    #Notice: use global variable!
    t = threading.Timer(5.0, sayhello)
    t.start()
t = threading.Timer(5.0, sayhello)
t.start()

运行结果如下:

>python hello.py
hello world
hello world
hello world

下面是定时器类的实现：

class Timer(threading.Thread):
    \"\"\"
    very simple but useless timer.
    \"\"\"
    def __init__(self, seconds):
        self.runTime = seconds
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
    def run(self):
        time.sleep(self.runTime)
        print \"Buzzzz!! Time\'s up!\"
class CountDownTimer(Timer):
    \"\"\"
    a timer that can counts down the seconds.
    \"\"\"
    def run(self):
        counter = self.runTime
        for sec in range(self.runTime):
            print counter
            time.sleep(1.0)
            counter -= 1
        print \"Done\"
class CountDownExec(CountDownTimer):
    \"\"\"
    a timer that execute an action at the end of the timer run.
    \"\"\"
    def __init__(self, seconds, action, args=[]):
        self.args = args
        self.action = action
        CountDownTimer.__init__(self, seconds)
    def run(self):
        CountDownTimer.run(self)
        self.action(self.args)
def myAction(args=[]):
    print \"Performing my action with args:\"
    print args
if __name__ == \"__main__\":
    t = CountDownExec(3, myAction, [\"hello\", \"world\"])
    t.start()

以上代码在Python 2.5.4中运行通过

希望本文所述对大家的Python程序设计有所帮助。
