pyface.timer.timer module

Event-loop based timers that perform actions periodically.

Note that if a timer goes out of scope without a reference to being saved, there is nothing keeping the underlying toolkit timer alive and it will be garbage collected, meaning that the timer will stop firing (or indeed, may never fire).
