If you use Python to build a car project, then timing tasks are essential. There are four main methods for timing in Python.

1. Using sleep in while loop
2. Timer in threading module
3. sched module
4. Timing Framework APScheduler

There are many introductions on the Internet about the implementation and characteristics of the above four methods. The conclusion is that APScheduler is the best, and my main focus is on the accuracy of the timer and the shortest achievable timing.

Edit the following code (APScheduler package needs to be installed in advance), set the periodic timing to 1ms, and output the current time and time difference.

import time
import datetime
from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
pre_time=0;
def func():
global pre_time
now = time.time()
cha=now-pre_time
pre_time=now
print(now," ",cha)
scheduler = BlockingScheduler()
scheduler.add_job(func, 'interval', seconds=0.001, id='main')
scheduler.start()

It is found that errors are often reported during operation, and the time error is very large. The periodic timing is changed to 10ms, and the results are as follows.

There are no errors when running, but there is still an error of about ±3%. This error is also fatal in a project that requires real-time control, so using the timer in Python to do real-time timing tasks is a failure.

I think this is mainly related to the low efficiency of Python code execution. Linux itself is not a real-time operating system, which is also a reason.

question

Python is so bad at timers, so would C be better?
