Python's Timer: from threading import Timer

[tupanaster]

I think I would need to combine both: Python's timer and invokeAsync. Because invokeAsync doesn't have a fixed time as a parameter.

From this post: AttributeError: ‘com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.Imm’ object has no attribute ‘invokeLater’

@Kevin.Herron

Jython’s Timer seems fine, but it’s conceptually no different than just using invokeAsync and then sleeping as the first thing you do for the amount of delay you desire. Both end up using a dedicated Thread.

They both seem the same but probably some minor differences.

Edit #1:
I think it would be nice to call the timer through an invokeAsync to get a description of the thread in the gateway. Maybe I'll create two threads by doing so. Any thoughts on this?
