[ACCEPTED]-python process takes 100% CPU-consumption
If you know when the next run will be, you 11 can simply use time.sleep:
import time
interval = 5
next_run = 0
while True:
time.sleep(max(0, next_run - time.time()))
next_run = time.time() + interval
action_print()
If you want other threads 10 to be able to interrupt you, use an event like 9 this:
import time,threading
interval = 5
next_run = 0
interruptEvent = threading.Event()
while True:
interruptEvent.wait(max(0, next_run - time.time()))
interruptEvent.clear()
next_run = time.time() + interval
action_print()
Another thread can now call interruptEvent.set() to wake 8 up yours.
In many cases, you will also want 7 to use a Lock to avoid race conditions on shared data. Make 6 sure to clear the event while you hold the 5 lock.
You should also be aware that under 4 cpython, only one thread can execute Python 3 code. Therefore, if your program is CPU-bound 2 over multiple threads and you're using cpython 1 or pypy, you should substitute threading with multiprocessing.
Presumably you do not want to write time.sleep(interval) , but 9 replacing 'pass' with time.sleep(0.1) will 8 almost completely free up your CPU, and 7 still allow you flexibility in the WHILE 6 predicate.
Alternatively you could use a 5 thread for each event you are scheduling 4 and use time.sleep(interval) but this will 3 still tie up your CPU.
Bottom line : your 2 loop WHILE : PASS is going round and 1 round very fast consuming all your CPU.
