python call a procedure at the specified time
Hi, I have a python script running behind the scene,and I need it to call a method on sunday 9 o'clock. I get an idea,that I get the current time,and calculate the seconds to sunday 9 o'clock, then sleep these seconds and call my method,I think there could be an elegant way to resolve this.

Re: python call a procedure at the specified time
are you looking for something like cron?

Re: python call a procedure at the specified time
I think to do so either you will need to schedule a cron or write a daemon process which will run continuously. Assuming that its running only once a day or say timely manner daemon will be a costly affair for system resources To schedule crons for python, this might be useful (using yaml) http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/cron.html#About_cron_yaml Thanks, Nitin On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 11:54 AM, Von von...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Nitin,I need a python solution for that.

Re: python call a procedure at the specified time
Thanks Nitin,I wonder how cron works,does it create a timer thread for each task?

Re: python call a procedure at the specified time
I have read the cron man page just now,It says that cron wakes up every minute to check task. I will try install/uninstall with cron.

Re: python call a procedure at the specified time
cron is daemon running which maps the tasks with the frequency if you want to run a task at a specific time, you can schedule it for the same if you need any help, ping on gtalk, can help you out Thanks, Nitin On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 1:05 PM, Von von...@gmail.com wrote: I have read the cron man page just now,It says that cron wakes up every minute to check task.

Re: python call a procedure at the specified time
I used timer way,and I found that threading.Timer didn't work with PyQt,so I used QTimer instead,and it did work.
