Suggestions for a Cron like scheduler in Python?
What would be the most pythonic way to schedule a function to run periodically as a background task? There are some ideas here, but they all seem rather ugly to me. And incomplete.
The java Timer class has a very complete solution. Anyone know of a similar python class?

start() and stop() are safe to call multiple times even if the timer has already started/stopped. function to be called can have positional and named arguments. You can change interval anytime, it will be effective after next run.
Method 1: Using Time Modulesleep() function and make while loop is true. The function will sleep for the given time interval. After that, it will start executing.
To run code every 5 seconds in Python, you can use a loop and the Python time module sleep() function. You can use a for loop or a while loop.
Schedule lets you run Python functions (or any other callable) periodically at pre-determined intervals using a simple, human-friendly syntax. Schedule Library is used to schedule a task at a particular time every day or a particular day of a week. We can also set time in 24 hours format that when a task should run.
There is a handy event scheduler that might do what you need. Here's a link to the documentation:
