Python job scheduling for humans.

An in-process scheduler for periodic jobs that uses the builder pattern for configuration. Schedule lets you run Python functions (or any other callable) periodically at pre-determined intervals using a simple, human-friendly syntax.

Inspired by Adam Wiggins' article "Rethinking Cron" (Google cache) and the clockwork Ruby module.

• A simple to use API for scheduling jobs.
• Very lightweight and no external dependencies.
• Excellent test coverage.
• Works with Python 2.7 and 3.3

$ pip install schedule

import schedule
import time

def job():
    print("I'm working...")

schedule.every(10).minutes.do(job)
schedule.every().hour.do(job)
schedule.every().day.at("10:30").do(job)

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