delay time for Ao_timer

[Simil Susan]

Hi I have a doubt. In the timer program given below:

#importing the library using import command

import e32
timer = e32.Ao_timer()
#delay is set to 4.0
delay = 4.0

#defining a function
def do_something(arg=None):
# your code to be repeated every interval goes here
timer.after(delay, do_something)

# To start the timer once
timer.after(delay, do_something)

is delay in second? How can I give a delay in hours or daily wise?Is there a limit to the delay time?From my experience I think it is in seconds. When I gave delay as 200 it was repeated about 200 seconds .I gave it as 43200(12 hours) but it does not seem to work.Actually I want to do something every one week.Is there any way to doing it?

Regards
Simil

Set it to the number of seconds in a week.
