  Description     : Simple thread module to repetitively perform a task on a single thread

Python thread module to repeat an predefined task on a thread mulitple
times. A TaskThread is useful when a task needs to be repeated several
times on a separate thread. Normal usage of the threading.Thread class
would call for creation of a new thread each time the same task needs to
be run. This module allows for repetitive tasks to be run multiple times
on the same thread by having the thread wait until the task needs to be
executed again.
