scheduler 0.8.11

A simple in-process python scheduler library with asyncio, threading and timezone support. Schedule tasks by their time cycles, fixed times, weekdays, dates, weights, offsets and execution counts and automate Jobs.

If you find the scheduler library beneficial, please consider supporting the project by starring it on GitHub.

Features

• Easy and user friendly in-process Job scheduling (Quick Start)
• Asyncio scheduler (Example)
• Threading scheduler (Example)
• Timezone compatibility (Example)
• Passing of parameters (Example)
• Job prioritization
  • Default linear prioritization (Example)
  • User definable prioritization functions (Guide)
• Job tagging (Example)
• Job batching (Example)
• Job metadata (Example)
• Lightweight & high test coverage
• Online documentation

Installation

pip

scheduler can be installed directly from the PyPI repositories with:

pip install scheduler

Alternatively install scheduler from the git repository with:

git clone https://gitlab.com/DigonIO/scheduler.git
cd scheduler
pip install .

Example: How to schedule Jobs

The following example shows how the Scheduler is instantiated and how basic Jobs are created. For advanced scheduling examples please visit the online documentation.

import datetime as dt

from scheduler import Scheduler
from scheduler.trigger import Monday, Tuesday


def foo():
    print("foo")


schedule = Scheduler()

schedule.cyclic(dt.timedelta(minutes=10), foo)

schedule.minutely(dt.time(second=15), foo)
schedule.hourly(dt.time(minute=30, second=15), foo)
schedule.daily(dt.time(hour=16, minute=30), foo)
schedule.weekly(Monday(), foo)
schedule.weekly(Monday(dt.time(hour=16, minute=30)), foo)

schedule.once(dt.timedelta(minutes=10), foo)
schedule.once(Tuesday(), foo)
schedule.once(dt.datetime(year=2022, month=2, day=15, minute=45), foo)

A human readable overview of the scheduled jobs can be created with a simple print statement:

print(schedule)

max_exec=inf, tzinfo=None, priority_function=linear_priority_function, #jobs=9

type     function / alias due at                 due in      attempts weight
-------- ---------------- ------------------- --------- ------------- ------
MINUTELY foo()            2021-05-26 03:55:15   0:00:14         0/inf      1

HOURLY   foo()            2021-05-26 04:30:15   0:35:14         0/inf      1

WEEKLY   foo()            2021-05-31 00:00:00    4 days         0/inf      1
WEEKLY   foo()            2021-05-31 16:30:00    5 days         0/inf      1
ONCE     foo()            2021-06-01 00:00:00    5 days           0/1      1
ONCE     foo()            2022-02-15 00:45:00  264 days           0/1      1

Executing pending Jobs periodically can be achieved with a simple loop:

import time

while True:
    schedule.exec_jobs()
    time.sleep(1)
