+# Looper
+Looper is a service that can be used to run periodic tasks after a certain interval.
+
+Each job runs on a separate thread and when the service is shut down, it waits till all tasks currently being executed are completed.
+
+Inspired by this blog [`here`](https://www.g-loaded.eu/2016/11/24/how-to-terminate-running-python-threads-using-signals/)
+
+## Installation
+```sh
+python setup.py install
+```
+
+## writing a job looks like this
+
+```python
+import time
+
+from looper import Looper
+from datetime import timedelta
+
+loop = Looper()
+
+@loop.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=2))
+def sample_job_every_2s():
+    print "2s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())
+
+@loop.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=5))
+def sample_job_every_5s():
+    print "5s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())
+
+
+@loop.job(interval=timedelta(seconds=10))
+def sample_job_every_10s():
+    print "10s job current time : {}".format(time.ctime())
+
+loop.start()
+```
