The loop i tried to make won't loop correctly

Question

I tried to make a timer by making a function, that should keep on running until it hit 0. I thought I could get it to loop, but I think it ended up skipping the first part of else
"(int(time) - int(1))" and just repeating the second numeral it got after - 1. What i want it to do: Take the whole function and run it through until it reaches 0. What it does: takes time -1 and keeps printing that until it reaches maximum recursion depth.

import time as tm

def Timer(time):
    if time == '0':
        print("done")
        tm.sleep(3)
    else:
        print(int(time) - int(1))
        Timer(time)
Timer(time)

I made some small alterations on your code. Though it's very similar, I fixed the missing parameter and removed all the variable type convertions, since it didn't seem necessarry. Here's what I created (of course, you may have to adapt the function calling and probably remove my input):

import time as tm

def Timer(time):

    while (time>0):

        tm.sleep(1)
        time -= 1
        print(time)

    print("done")
    tm.sleep(3)

time=int(input('Choose your time value: '))
Timer(time)
