So, what you're basically asking is how to have a process executed for a specific amount of time?

This version runs for a second, change x to 3600 if you want it to run for an hour: import time # use x = 3600 if you want to run it for an hour, it may overheat your computer x = 1 # make it run for x seconds y = time.time() + x z = time.time() while z < y: z = time.time() for u in range(5, -1, -1): print(u, end = ' ') print ("")

This will run until the end of the hour (Or time limit exceded): import time y = int(time.strftime("%H")) x = y while y == x: y = int(time.strftime("%H")) print(y) I got time limit exceeded.
