What is the best way to repeatedly execute a function every x seconds? [closed]

If your program doesn’t have a event loop already, use the sched module, which implements a general purpose event scheduler.

import sched, time
s = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
def do_something(sc): 
    print("Doing stuff...")
    # do your stuff
    sc.enter(60, 1, do_something, (sc,))

s.enter(60, 1, do_something, (s,))
s.run()

If you’re already using an event loop library like asyncio, trio, tkinter, PyQt5, gobject, kivy, and many others – just schedule the task using your existing event loop library’s methods, instead.
