Run certain code every x seconds

Question

please tell me how to make sure that the function printit () is executed every second?

import threading

def printit():
    print("Hello, World!")    

threading.Timer(1.0, printit).start()

the problem is that the 'hello world' appears only once

How about

import time
while True:
    time.sleep(1)
    print ('Hello world')
