I'm trying to get a very basic scheduler set up. All I really need is to execute a function once a day which pulls blog posts from an RSS feed and adds them to the TG database.
I've tried using TGScheduler and it's been a spectacular failure. There doesn't seem to be any documentation, and what I've managed to glean from the source notes isn't enough to get it to work. In short, it's been a waste of my time. So instead I've been using repeating timers from the threading module. This seems to work OK - my code is pulling the RSS feed and parsing it correctly, but for some reason none of my database changes are sticking. I'm triggering the timer from in one of my controllers, and it starts working the first time the controller is imported. Is there a better place to call random functions from? Is there some reason why using DBSession outside of a page request doesn't ever commit my data? I've had the same problem using the paster shell - if I open up the shell, add some stuff to the database then flush my changes they're gone if I exit the shell and then re-start it. If it matters, I'm using SQLAlchemy with DeclarativeBase. Thanks for any help, this is driving me nuts. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
