I'm new to python and I'm developing a raspberry pi program that will check a sever ever 2 min. i have the server check part working But, I'm not sure how to accomplish the repeat. For example in arduino there is void loop() function there I could wait to see if 2min have pass then call the sever check function without a problem. How would I accomplish this in python?

Why not just use crontab if you are working with raspberry pi and have Linux? – Philip Tzou Oct 11 '16 at 06:16

What I'm making is a digital signage program and it will display images and video fullscreen so this is just a small part of it. – Jean Pierre Oct 11 '16 at 06:25
