I was learning about time module in python and I wanted to make a delay in my function like setInterval and clearInterval. I was trying to make something with time module but I cant run my code correctly.

I just want to make a simple setInterval and clearInteval and setTimeout with a simple code.

from threading import Timer
import time
run = True
def test():
    global run
    print("something")
    if run:
        Timer(1, test).start()
        time.sleep(2)

test()

_but I cant run my code correctly_ How do you expect us to help, without seeing your code? – John Gordon Nov 09 '22 at 16:22

Does this answer your question? [Python Equivalent of setInterval()?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2697039/python-equivalent-of-setinterval) – 12944qwerty Nov 09 '22 at 16:22

What is the expected output? The `time.sleep(2)` does work properly, but it isn't noticeable because you don't see anything run after it. – 12944qwerty Nov 09 '22 at 16:31

If you're having trouble with this code, you have to show us what the code did when you ran it, and say what results you were expecting. – John Gordon Nov 09 '22 at 16:33
