How to run a script forever? [duplicate]
Yes, you can use a while True: loop that never breaks to run Python code continually.
However, you will need to put the code you want to run continually inside the loop:
#!/usr/bin/pythonwhile True: # some python code that I want # to keep on runningAlso, time.sleep is used to suspend the operation of a script for a period of time. So, since you want yours to run continually, I don't see why you would use it.
How about this one?
import signalsignal.pause()This will let your program sleep until it receives a signal from some other process (or itself, in another thread), letting it know it is time to do something.
I know this is too old thread but why no one mentioned this
#!/usr/bin/python3import asyncio loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()try: loop.run_forever()finally: loop.close()
