TaskThread

✓ from taskthread import TaskThread

The main class is always imported from 'taskthread'.

Create a TaskThread that executes my_task every 2 seconds, start it, then stop after 10 seconds.

from taskthread import TaskThread import time def my_task(): print("Task execution at", time.time()) # Run my_task every 2 seconds t = TaskThread(my_task, 2) t.start() time.sleep(10) # Let it run for a while t.stop()

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe interval parameter is in seconds (float), not milliseconds. Passing a value like 1000 will cause a long delay.

fix

Ensure interval is in seconds (e.g., 0.5 for 500ms).

affects: All

gotchaTaskThread uses a simple while loop with sleep; if the task takes longer than the interval, they will overlap because no lock is used.

fix

Design tasks to complete quickly or add your own synchronization.

affects: All

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'taskthread' has no attribute 'TaskThread'

Incorrect import statement (e.g., 'import taskthread' then 'taskthread.TaskThread').

fix

Use 'from taskthread import TaskThread'.

TypeError: 'float' object is not callable

Passed a float as the first argument instead of a callable.

fix

Ensure first argument is a function or callable object.
