Is it possible to create a function in Python similar to the JS interval?

Question

Is it possible to execute the code asynchronously in predefined intervals in Python like it's done in JS using the setTimer?

For example, the function example() will be called every 60 seconds in Python. How can I do that?

Run a thread that performs a loop that calls `example()` and then `os.sleep(60)` — Barmar, Oct 25 '19 at 19:04
