bunpy.timers

Timers are available as globals in every bunpy script. They are also importable from bunpy.timers.

from bunpy.timers import setTimeout, clearTimeout, setInterval, clearInterval

setTimeout(fn, delay_ms) → id

Call fn after delay_ms milliseconds. Returns a timer ID.

tid = setTimeout(lambda: print("fired!"), 1000)

clearTimeout(id)

Cancel a pending timeout.

clearTimeout(tid)

setInterval(fn, interval_ms) → id

Call fn every interval_ms milliseconds. Returns a timer ID.

count = 0
iid = setInterval(lambda: (count := count + 1), 100)

clearInterval(id)

Stop a repeating interval.

clearInterval(iid)

Notes

• Timers run on goroutines. The callback is called from a separate goroutine.
• Use threading.Lock if the callback mutates shared state.
• A script exits when the main goroutine finishes, even if timers are pending. Use time.sleep or an event to keep the main goroutine alive.
