For this project you are going to have to integrate some timing modules in Python. The examples present a mix of GUI and non-GUI options. It is important to note that these examples are not completed solutions to the project task(s) required. You will have to utilise your skills in Python and integrate some of the timing modules demonstrated here to produce your best result.
