Bases: object

A repeating task.

This class can be used to perform a task at irregular intervals.

By using a function as the interval, you can make tasks more random.

Parameters:	interval – The function to determine the interval between task runs. func – The function to run as the task. running – Whether or not a task is running.

start(immediately: bool = False) → None¶

Start this task.

Schedules func to run after whatever interval is returned by interval.

Every time it runs, it will be rescheduled, until stop() is called.

Parameters:	immediately – If `True`, then `self.func` will run as soon as it has been scheduled.
