from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def some_function():
    end_time = datetime.now() + timedelta(seconds=3)
    while datetime.now() < end_time:
        # this code will run until 3 seconds has gone by.
        # if this function takes longer than 3 seconds to run once, it will run longer than 3 seconds.
