How Change TaskTray icon by time???

[namashin]

I have simple question.

Every 1 seconds , example.ico change to example2.ico, and change to example3.ico and so on. I made TCP/IP connection Server and i want to cancel TCP connection by putting tasktray ico, while connecting Client and Server, icon change every 1 seconds.

Is there any way to solve this question???

  class TaskTrayOperator(object):
       def __init__(self, finish_TCP_connection_function):
          self.finish_gw = finish_TCP_connection_function

          # set icon images
          self.images = (Image.open('gw.ico'), Image.open('gw2.ico'), Image.open('gw3.ico'),
                    Image.open('gw4.ico'), Image.open('gw5.ico'))

          # change icon by time
          self.timer = 0

          # tasktray menu
          menu = Menu(MenuItem('FINISH', self.quit_gateway))

          self.icon = Icon(
              'gateway',
              icon=self.images[0],
              menu=menu)

          # blocking here
          self.icon.run()

      def quit_gateway(self):
          self.finish_gw()

      def on_activate(self):
         # call this method by one second
          if self.timer == 5:
              self.timer = 0

          self.icon.icon = self.images[self.timer]
          self.timer += 1

  def finish_gw():
      print("finish gw")

  if __name__ == '__main__':
      S = TaskTrayOperator(finish_gw)

Thank you

I suggest you look into the threading module. It does contain a Timer class, but it appears to support triggering only once; writing one that triggers continuously should not be that hard.

Since this question is not related to pystray, I will close it. If you think that is incorrect, please reopen.
