:mod:`sched` --- Event scheduler
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: sched
|
|
:synopsis: General purpose event scheduler.
|

.. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il>

|
|
|
|
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/sched.py`
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`sched` module defines a class which implements a general purpose event
|
|
scheduler:
|
|
|
|
.. class:: scheduler(timefunc=time.monotonic, delayfunc=time.sleep)
|
|
|
|
The :class:`scheduler` class defines a generic interface to scheduling events.
|
|
It needs two functions to actually deal with the "outside world" --- *timefunc*
|
|
should be callable without arguments, and return a number (the "time", in any
|
|
units whatsoever). If time.monotonic is not available, the *timefunc* default
|
|
is time.time instead. The *delayfunc* function should be callable with one
|
|
argument, compatible with the output of *timefunc*, and should delay that many
|
|
time units. *delayfunc* will also be called with the argument ``0`` after each
|
|
event is run to allow other threads an opportunity to run in multi-threaded
|
|
applications.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
|
|
*timefunc* and *delayfunc* parameters are optional.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
|
|
:class:`scheduler` class can be safely used in multi-threaded
|
|
environments.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
>>> import sched, time
|
|
>>> s = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
|
|
>>> def print_time(a='default'):
|
|
... print("From print_time", time.time(), a)
|
|
...
|
|
>>> def print_some_times():
|
|
... print(time.time())
|
|
... s.enter(10, 1, print_time)
|
|
... s.enter(5, 2, print_time, argument=('positional',))
|
|
... s.enter(5, 1, print_time, kwargs={'a': 'keyword'})
|
|
... s.run()
|
|
... print(time.time())
|
|
...
|
|
>>> print_some_times()
|
|

|
|
From print_time 930343695.274 positional
|
|
From print_time 930343695.275 keyword
|
|
From print_time 930343700.273 default

Scheduler Objects
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
:class:`scheduler` instances have the following methods and attributes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: scheduler.enterabs(time, priority, action, argument=(), kwargs={})
|
|
|
|
Schedule a new event. The *time* argument should be a numeric type compatible
|
|
with the return value of the *timefunc* function passed to the constructor.
|
|
Events scheduled for the same *time* will be executed in the order of their
|
|
*priority*.
|
|
|
|
Executing the event means executing ``action(*argument, **kwargs)``.
|
|
*argument* is a sequence holding the positional arguments for *action*.
|
|
*kwargs* is a dictionary holding the keyword arguments for *action*.
|
|
|
|
Return value is an event which may be used for later cancellation of the event
|
|
(see :meth:`cancel`).
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
|
|
*argument* parameter is optional.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.3
|
|
*kwargs* parameter was added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: scheduler.enter(delay, priority, action, argument=(), kwargs={})
|
|
|
|
Schedule an event for *delay* more time units. Other than the relative time, the
|
|
other arguments, the effect and the return value are the same as those for
|
|
:meth:`enterabs`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
|
|
*argument* parameter is optional.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.3
|
|
*kwargs* parameter was added.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: scheduler.cancel(event)
|
|
|
|
Remove the event from the queue. If *event* is not an event currently in the
|
|
queue, this method will raise a :exc:`ValueError`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: scheduler.empty()
|
|
|
|
Return true if the event queue is empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: scheduler.run(blocking=True)
|
|
|
|
Run all scheduled events. This method will wait (using the :func:`delayfunc`
|
|
function passed to the constructor) for the next event, then execute it and so
|
|
on until there are no more scheduled events.
|
|
|
|
If *blocking* is False executes the scheduled events due to expire soonest
|
|
(if any) and then return the deadline of the next scheduled call in the
|
|
scheduler (if any).
|
|
|
|
Either *action* or *delayfunc* can raise an exception. In either case, the
|
|
scheduler will maintain a consistent state and propagate the exception. If an
|
|
exception is raised by *action*, the event will not be attempted in future calls
|
|
to :meth:`run`.
|
|
|
|
If a sequence of events takes longer to run than the time available before the
|
|
next event, the scheduler will simply fall behind. No events will be dropped;
|
|
the calling code is responsible for canceling events which are no longer
|
|
pertinent.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.3
|
|
*blocking* parameter was added.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: scheduler.queue
|
|
|
|
Read-only attribute returning a list of upcoming events in the order they
|
|
will be run. Each event is shown as a :term:`named tuple` with the
|
|
following fields: time, priority, action, argument, kwargs.
