I want to create a timer in python, which runs while program is running and gives a message when timer completes [duplicate]

Question

I want to a timer inside my python program, which keeps running while the program is running and once timer is over, it displays a message or performs an action like breaking a loop or continuing the loop.

You can set an alarm and do something in the callback... medium.com/@chamilad/… — Mark Setchell

With all due respect, the supposedly answer/solution How can I time a code segment for testing performance with Pythons timeit? is not what Walnut street is asking. — ferdy

You can use threads to execute a timer while the program is running. Here is a explanation to threads: https://realpython.com/intro-to-python-threading/

You can use this code:

import time
from random import random

timer = int(input("Enter time: "))
while True:
    text = random.randint(1, 10)
    time.sleep(timer)
    break
print(text)

You can always change what you wanna do inside the while loop.

Hope it worked!!
