Advait,

Not that I know of.  Here's an example using a similar API to roscpp though:


#!/usr/bin/env python



import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('rospy')
import rospy, threading, time

class TimerEvent(object):
    def __init__(self, last_expected, last_real, current_expected,
current_real, last_duration):
        self.last_expected    = last_expected
        self.last_real        = last_real
        self.current_expected = current_expected
        self.current_real     = current_real
        self.last_duration    = last_duration

class Timer(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, duration, callback, oneshot=False):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self._duration = duration
        self._callback = callback
        self._oneshot  = oneshot
        self.setDaemon(True)
        self.start()

    def run(self):
        r = rospy.Rate(1.0 / self._duration.to_sec())
        current_expected = rospy.Time.now()
        last_expected, last_real, last_duration = None, None, None
        while not rospy.is_shutdown():
            r.sleep()
            current_real = rospy.Time.now()
            start = time.time()
            self._callback(TimerEvent(last_expected, last_real,
current_expected, current_real, last_duration))
            if self._oneshot:
                break
            last_duration = time.time() - start
            last_expected, last_real = current_expected, current_real
            current_expected += self._duration

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import time
    rospy.init_node('test')
    def callback(event):
        print 'last_expected:        ', event.last_expected
        print 'last_real:            ', event.last_real
        print 'current_expected:     ', event.current_expected
        print 'current_real:         ', event.current_real
        print 'current_error:        ', (event.current_real -
event.current_expected).to_sec()
        print 'profile.last_duration:', event.last_duration
        if event.last_real:
            print 'last_error:           ', (event.last_real -
event.last_expected).to_sec(), 'secs'
        print

    Timer(rospy.Duration(2), callback)
    time.sleep(5)
