Pyriodic

A Python task scheduler

Project maintained by Ayehavgunne Hosted on GitHub Pages — Theme by mattgraham

Pyriodic

Pronounced just like "periodic"

A job scheduler written in Python to run periodic tasks.

This project is in the alpha stage so there is a lot yet to do.

Installation

pip install pyriodic

Dependencies

Pyriodic can be installed and used on it's own but if tasks need to be scheduled at a specific date/time then the module dateutil is invaluble. Without it acceptable datetime strings are rather limited.

If dateutil is already installed then it will be used automatically.

Usage

from pyriodic import DurationJob
from pyriodic import DatetimeJob
from pyriodic import Scheduler

now = datetime.now
s = Scheduler()

start = now()

def func1(arg1=None, arg2=None, arg3=None, arg4=None):
    print('Func1', arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, now() - start, now())

def func2():
    print('Func2', now() - start, now())

def func3():
    print('Func3', now() - start, now())

s.add_job(DurationJob(func1,
                    when='30m',
                    args=('This', 'is'),
                    kwargs={'arg3': 'the', 'arg4': 'first function'},
                    name='MyJob'))
s.add_job(DurationJob(func2, when='2h'))
s.add_job(DatetimeJob(func3, when='12:00 pm'))

print(s.next_run_times())
