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 .

Arch Linux

The PKGBUILD file can be utilized from the Arch Build System. Download the PKGBUILD file and from within the containing folder run

makepkg -i

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

WEEKLY   foo()            2021-05-31 00:00:00    4 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)
