How do I schedule an interval job with APScheduler?

Question

I\'m trying to schedule an interval job with APScheduler (v3.0.0).

I\'ve tried:

from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
sched =

I haven't figured out what caused the original issue, but I got around it by swapping the order in which the jobs are scheduled, so that the 'interval' job is scheduled BEFORE the 'cron' jobs.

i.e. I switched from this:

def my_cron_job1():
    print "cron job 1"

def my_cron_job2():
    print "cron job 2"

def my_interval_job():
    print "interval job"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
    sched = BlockingScheduler(timezone='MST')

    sched.add_job(my_cron_job1, 'cron', id='my_cron_job1', minute=10)
    sched.add_job(my_cron_job2, 'cron', id='my_cron_job2', minute=20)

    sched.add_job(my_interval_job, 'interval', id='my_job_id', seconds=5)

to this:

def my_cron_job1():
    print "cron job 1"

def my_cron_job2():
    print "cron job 2"

def my_interval_job():
    print "interval job"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
    sched = BlockingScheduler(timezone='MST')

    sched.add_job(my_interval_job, 'interval', id='my_job_id', seconds=5)

    sched.add_job(my_cron_job1, 'cron', id='my_cron_job1', minute=10)
    sched.add_job(my_cron_job2, 'cron', id='my_cron_job2', minute=20)

and now both the cron jobs and the interval jobs run without a problem in both environments.
