crontools

Installation

$ pip install crontools

Quickstart

Get next cron fire time:

>>> import datetime as dt
>>> import crontools as ct
>>>
>>> tz = dt.timezone.utc
>>> now = dt.datetime.fromisoformat('2020-02-29 23:59:59.999+00:00')
>>> ct = ct.Crontab.parse(
...     '* * * * * * *',
...     seconds_ext=True,
...     years_ext=True,
...     tz=tz,
... )
>>>
>>> print(f"Next fire time: {ct.next_fire_time(now=now)}")
Next fire time: 2020-03-01 00:00:00+00:00

Iteration over cron fire times starting from now:

>>> import crontools as ct
>>>
>>> tz = dt.timezone.utc
>>> now = dt.datetime.fromisoformat('2021-02-01 00:00:00+00:00')
>>> ct = ct.Crontab.parse(
...     '30 30 12-16/2 1,2 JAN SAT,SUN *',
...     seconds_ext=True,
...     years_ext=True,
...     tz=tz,
... )
>>>
>>> cron_iter = ct.iter(start_from=now)
>>> for n, fire_datetime in zip(range(1, 31), cron_iter):
...     print("{n:2}: {dt}".format(n=n, dt=fire_datetime))
...
