Python while loop be executed in time interval

Question

I wanted to use while loop to keep executing my script over and over but there is a problem as my code calls an API that doesn't allow so many calls in small time so I wanted to make the while loop be executed at time interval so I tried this code

from threading import Timer
def myfunc():
   some code
while True:
   t = Timer(1.0, myfunc)
   t.start()

but it doesn't work, so is there any other way to do it correctly?

You can try [time.sleep](https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/time/sleep) — Rieljun Liguid, Mar 10 '20 at 00:33

Use the time module:

import time

def myfunc():
   some code

while True:
   myfunc()

   # unit is in second. Example below wait for 1 second before continuing
   time.sleep(1)
