how to run periodic task in high frequency in flask?

I want my flask APP to pull updates from a local txt file every 200ms, is it possible to do that?

P.S. I've considered BackgroundScheduler() from apschedulerler, but the granularity of is 1s.

Whatever you put inside the function will be dealt for every 200ms.

import datetime, threading

def foo():
    print datetime.datetime.now()
    threading.Timer(0.2, foo).start()

foo()

Couldn't you just start a loop in a thread that sleeps for 200 ms before the next iteration?
