Run Process Hidden Python

Question

I am new in python and I making a new code and I need a little help

Main file :

import os
import time
import sys
import app
import dbg
import dbg
import         


        

Answer 1

Why not doing this: define a method in the module you import and call this method 5 times in a loop with a certain time.sleep(x) in each iteration.

Edit:

Consider this is your module to import (e.g. very_good_module.py):

def interesting_action():
    print "Wow, I did not expect this! This is a very good module."

Now your main module:

import time
import very_good_module

[...your code...]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        very_good_module.interesting_action()
        time.sleep(5)

Answer 2

#my_module.py (print hello once)
print "hello"

#main (print hello n times)
import time

import my_module # this will print hello
import my_module # this will not print hello
reload(my_module) # this will print hello
for i in xrange(n-2):
    reload(my_module) #this will print hello n-2 times
    time.sleep(seconds_to_sleep)

Note: my_module must be imported before it can be reloaded.

.

I think it's preferable way to include a function in your module which executes, and then call this function. (As for one thing reload is a rather expensive task.) For example:

#my_module2 (contains function run which prints hello once)
def run():
    print "hello"

#main2 (prints hello n times)
import time

import my_module2 #this won't print anything
for i in xrange(n):
    my_module2.run() #this will print "hello" n times
    time.sleep(seconds_to_sleep)
