What are the characteristics of the Python Timer object…

The Timer class in Python has the following characteristics:

1. The Timer class is a subclass of the threading module, used to execute a function or method after a specified amount of time.
2. The timer can be set to run either once or repeatedly.
3. The timer starts counting when the start method is used and stops counting when the cancel method is used.
4. The timer can specify both a delay time and an interval time.
5. The timer is a separate thread that can run concurrently with the main thread.
6. The timer can pass additional parameters to the function or method being executed through parameters.
7. The function or method executed by a timer can be any callable object, such as functions, methods, lambda functions, and so on.
8. The timer can be used to set thread names and daemon thread properties.
9. The “is_alive” method can be used to determine if the timer is currently running.

It is important to note that communication between threads needs to be synchronized to ensure safety.
