python通过线程实现定时器timer的方法

import threading
def sayhello():
    print "hello world"
    global t    #Notice: use global variable!
    t = threading.Timer(5.0,sayhello)
    t.start()
t = threading.Timer(5.0,sayhello)
t.start()

>python hello.py
hello world
hello world
hello world

    def run(self):
        time.sleep(self.runTime)
        print "Buzzzz!! Time's up!"
class CountDownTimer(Timer):
    """

    """
    def run(self):
        counter = self.runTime
        for sec in range(self.runTime):
            print counter
            time.sleep(1.0)
            counter -= 1
        print "Done"
class CountDownExec(CountDownTimer):
    """
    a timer that execute an action at the end of the timer run.

    def __init__(self,seconds,action,args=[]):
