Question about basic use of a timer object from timeit module to execute code every so often in a class

I've seen both documentation for using timeit as simply a timer to
measure preformance, but also a random page here and there that looked
to me as if they were using it as a simple timer.  HOwever, if there is
a wxwidget timer I'll gladly hit that up.  Thanks for the info
