thym PyPI version

Bundle of timing utilities such as Timer that allows you to trigger an event at a specified interval or Stopwatch to measure time etc.

Installation

There are two ways to install thym:

Install thym from PyPI (recommended):

sudo pip install thym

If you are using a virtualenv, you may want to avoid using sudo:

pip install thym

Alternatively: install thym from the GitHub source:

First, clone thym using git:

git clone https://github.com/apgeorg/thym.git

Then, cd to the thym folder and run the install command:

cd thym
sudo python setup.py install

Getting started

Timer

Timer is able to trigger a callback either periodically or as a one shot by setting the oneshot argument correspondingly. There is an elapsed property that returns the elapsed time since start() was called. Further, a remaining property is also available that returns the remaining time of the specified interval.

import thym

# Timer callback function
def timer_timeout():
  print("Timeout!")

# Create a Timer which runs periodically 
t = thym.Timer(1, timer_timeout, oneshot=False)

# Start running
t.start()

A running Timer can be stopped anytime by calling stop() as shown below. The elapsed time and remaining time are calculated accordingly.

t.stop()

Stopwatch

Stopwatch triggers a callback when stop() is called. The callback can be passed over the Stopwatch consturctor.
There is an elapsed property that returns the elapsed time since start() was called.

import thym

# Stopwatch callback function
def stopped_callback():
  print("Stopwatch stopped!")

# Create a Stopwatch 
sw = thym.Stopwatch(stopped_callback)

# Start running
sw.start()

A running Stopwach can be stopped anytime by calling stop() as shown below. Accordingly, the elapsed time is calculated.

sw.stop()
