Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar> added the comment: Note that doing this would change the class semantics. Timer "[...] represents an action that should be run only after a certain amount of time has passed — a timer." and the example clearly shows that the action is run *once*.
Timer is basically an example of how to write custom Thread subclasses; if you want a "repetitive action", you may easily write a subclass based on the code you posted. Not every useful class must be in the standard library... ---------- nosy: +gagenellina _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4781> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
