python定时器重复执行_Python threading 单线程 timer重复调用函数

项目中需要使用定时器，每次都使用构造器函数调用：

timer = threading.Timer(timerFlag, upload_position)

timer.start()

打印线程后发现，每次都会创建一个新的子线程，虽然活跃的线程只有一个，但是也是种资源浪费：

print("threading active = {} \n \n".format(threading.enumerate()))

#打印

threading active = [<_mainthread stopped>, ]

threading active = [<_mainthread stopped>, ]

threading active = [<_mainthread stopped>, ]

threading active = [<_mainthread stopped>, ]

threading active = [<_mainthread stopped>, ]

threading active = [<_mainthread stopped>, ]

threading active = [<_mainthread stopped>, ]
