Thanks Kent but now I need you to explain me the code :(
That code won't work for you. It is for timing how long it takes to do something, not for generating repeated events.
To give you a graphic example how can make this function to run every 5 seconds
def foo():
print "Hello world!"
Here is a Tkinter program that updates the text of a label every second. It uses the root.after() method to schedule a callback. Since it is a one-time callback, the callback reschedules itself each time it is called.
This is not a great example of code structure but it is simple and demonstrates the concept.
from Tkinter import *
count = 0
def update():
''' Callback method updates the label '''
global count
count += 1
label.configure(text=str(count)) # Schedule another callback
root.after(1000, update)
root=Tk() label=Label(root,text="0") label.pack()
b=Button(root,text="Bye",command='exit') b.pack()
# Schedule the initial callback root.after(1000, update)
root.mainloop()
