time - Python loop to run for certain amount of seconds -

i have while loop, , want maintain running through 15 minutes. currently:

while true: #blah blah blah

(this runs through, , restarts. need go on doing except after 15 minutes exits loop)

thanks!

try this:

import time t_end = time.time() + 60 * 15 while time.time() < t_end: # whatever

this run 15 min x 60 s = 900 seconds.

function time.time returns current time in seconds since 1st jan 1970. value in floating point, can utilize sub-second precision. in origin value t_end calculated "now" + 15 minutes. loop run until current time exceeds preset ending time.

python time timer while-loop
