A Python library for scheduling periodic jobs with a friendly, human-readable syntax. It runs an in-process scheduler that executes Python callables at intervals without external dependencies or extra processes.

Use cases

• run a python function every 10 minutes
• schedule a job daily at a specific time
• replace cron with in-process python scheduling
• run periodic background tasks in a python app
• schedule jobs at random intervals
• run a task every monday at 13:15

When to choose

• you need simple periodic job scheduling inside a Python process
• you want a lightweight, zero-dependency cron-like scheduler
• you prefer readable scheduling syntax over crontab expressions
• your jobs don't need persistence across restarts

When to avoid

• you need job persistence across restarts
• you need sub-second timing precision
• you need concurrent or multi-threaded job execution
• you need holiday/workday-aware scheduling
