How to execute a function at the nth second of every minute?

Question

time.sleep(60) is oblivious to the time.

So how to get python to execute a function at say the 50-second mark of every minute?

EDIT: I mean I want my function to be executed at:

-20:00:50
-20:01:50
-20:02:50
and so on...

Just put it in a loop:

while True:
    my_function()
    time.sleep(50)

That will execute at (say) 20:00:00, 20:00:50, 20:01:40, 20:02:30... – slothrop Jul 06 '22 at 21:48
