Schedule
This project is a lightweight Python scheduling library used for managing recurring jobs and automating the execution of functions within a single process. It serves as an event-based task scheduler that triggers functions at specific intervals or weekdays.
The library utilizes human-readable timing syntax to schedule periodic function calls. It supports the organization of timed workflows through job tag filtering and provides mechanisms for scheduler state inspection to track planned execution times.
The system handles both periodic and specific job scheduling with timezone support. It includes capabilities for managing execution limits via timeouts and manual cancellation.
Features
- Job Schedulers - Provides a lightweight utility for automating recurring function calls at fixed intervals.
- Interval Parsing - Provides human-readable timing syntax to define recurring task intervals.
- Task Scheduling - Automates the execution of Python functions using human-readable timing syntax.
- Time-Based Triggers - Uses time-based triggers to execute jobs when the system clock matches the scheduled time.
- Job Scheduling - Enables scheduling of functions at precise times or specific weekdays with timezone support.
- In-Process Task Schedulers - Manages a queue of timed events within the memory space of a single Python process.
- Scheduling Libraries - Provides a lightweight Python library for managing recurring jobs without external dependencies.
- Background Job Schedulers - Automates the execution of repetitive background tasks on a fixed schedule.
- Job Tagging - Supports organizing and managing groups of timed tasks through assigned job tags.
- Workflow Schedulers - Organizes and controls groups of timed tasks using tags, timeouts, and state monitoring.
- Execution Time Limits - Includes capabilities to terminate scheduled tasks via timeout conditions or manual cancellation.
- Job Registries - Maintains a dynamic registry of scheduled functions and metadata for runtime inspection and filtering.
- Event Loops - Runs a continuous single-threaded event loop to sequentially check and execute pending jobs.
- Synchronous Execution Models - Implements a blocking execution model that ensures scheduled tasks run synchronously on the main thread.
- Scheduler State Inspection - Allows tracking of next planned execution times and system idleness to monitor scheduler progress.
- Job Schedulers - Human-friendly job scheduling.
- Notes and Productivity - Job scheduling for humans.
