This is what I have so far:

def start(variable):
    thread = threading.Timer(1, start, args=variable).start()
    # do something

But is giving me an error. What is the correct way to do this?

Error:

TypeError: start() takes 1 positional argument but 6 were given

Use `args=(variable,)` or `args=[variable]`. – Aran-Fey Apr 30 '18 at 01:54
Or `{variable}`. Even `{variable: None}` would probably work. Basically, any iterable should work. – Mad Physicist Apr 30 '18 at 01:58
