Set up a scheduled job?

Question

I\'ve been working on a web app using Django, and I\'m curious if there is a way to schedule a job to run periodically.

Basically I just want to run through the dat

Answer 1

I had exactly the same requirement a while ago, and ended up solving it using APScheduler (User Guide)

It makes scheduling jobs super simple, and keeps it independent for from request-based execution of some code. Following is a simple example.

from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler

scheduler = BackgroundScheduler()
job = None

def tick():
    print('One tick!')\

def start_job():
    global job
    job = scheduler.add_job(tick, 'interval', seconds=3600)
    try:
        scheduler.start()
    except:
        pass

Hope this helps somebody!
