For what it's worth, here's how I do it:
---------------8<---------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
from time import sleep
interval = 25 #seconds
while not sleep(interval):
f(spam, eggs, knight)
---------------8<---------------
You might want to put the sleep inside an *obviously* infinite loop. Note
that this works best (most accurately) for longer periods. If you need to
account for the time spent in the actual f() calls, plug in a time.time()
call where appropriate.
