>>> import sched, time
>>> s = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
>>> def print_time(a='default'):
...     print("From print_time", time.time(), a)
...
>>> def print_some_times():
...     print(time.time())
...     s.enter(10, 1, print_time)
...     s.enter(5, 2, print_time, argument=('positional',))
...     # despite having higher priority, 'keyword' runs after 'positional' as enter() is relative
...     s.enter(5, 1, print_time, kwargs={'a': 'keyword'})
...     s.enterabs(1_650_000_000, 10, print_time, argument=("first enterabs",))
