Well I must say, I'm not that familiar with apscheduler, but it looks to me as if it's causing more issues and complexity than threading would, at least in some cases. I also don't think it exactly avoid threading, because apscheduler is probably using its own internal threading to achieve the results. If I wrote this, I'd be more likely to use multiple threads and some global state to control them - much like how I've done in the river system with variables like config.EXITING to signal program shutdown.
