dmi-scheduler

A lightweight task scheduler in Python.

Installation

pip3 install dmi-scheduler

PostgreSQL is used to keep track of jobs. As such, you need to have a PostgreSQL database that the scheduler can interact with. Database tables will be created automatically if they don't exist yet. You can pass the database connection parameters to the Scheduler() constructor with the dbname, dbhost, dbuser, dbpassword and dbport keyword arguments.

Example

import time
from dmi_scheduler.scheduler import Scheduler

scheduler = Scheduler(config="scheduler.yml")
for i in range(0, 100):
    scheduler.queue.add_job("log_number.py")

while scheduler.has_jobs():
    time.sleep(1)

scheduler.end()
print("Done! Results can be found in the log file.") 

log_number.py:

from random import choice
from dmi_scheduler.worker import BasicWorker

class SomeWorker(BasicWorker):
	max_workers = 3

	def work(self):
		self.log.info("Here is a random number: %i" % choice(range(0,1000)))
