Sorry, I'm in quite a hurry (so sorry for the language and lack of ellaboration). You can create tasks dynamically and you can create them after starting the scheduler. You can use app.session.create_task and pass "func" (Pyt

That's a great idea actually. Thanks, I think that should be pretty easy to do!

Do you mean with "dynamically schedule and unschedule" that you sort of manually (or using another task) stop running a task in its specified interval (or condition)? It does support this, there is an argument "disabled"

Thanks a lot, nice to hear! The system knows which task ran and when by extedning logging (from standard library). There is a logger called "rocketry.task" that should have a handler which can be read as well: redbird.logging.Repo

If you want an API (or UI), just clone this and modify it as you need: https://github.com/Miksus/rocketry-with-fastapi . I also wrote an article to Medium how it works with FastAPI: https://itnext.io/sch

You can do without a database backend but of course then the task logs are not kept in case of restart. Currently you can use any SQL database that SQLAlchemy supports, MongoDB or CSV files, or any other if you wish to extend Red Bird. It u

Putting it mildly, this is nothing more than a sophisticated Python while loop. And it's not as performance friendly as Cron due to that Rocketry runs on Python. You need to be able to leave Python program running in order to use Rocke

Yep, exactly. Rocketry works on conditions which are either true or false thus you need to give it a time range. Points in time do not actually make much sense in terms of scheduling as nothing can be run exactly at specified point. There s

Of course I have this running though it's still running older version (been too busy with developing this). It has been running over half a year for my scrapers without a single interruption even though the machine has the worst specs

Yep it does, the main process and thread is responsible of communicating with the logs (see the other comment in which I explained the logging mechanism). If you run a task in subprocess, the logs are relayed via queue to the main process a

There is a repository mechanism to store the logs. The task logger is simply an extension of logging library. Seems my docs are slightly off on setting up the CSV repo but you can just add a RepoHandler (from redbird) to the logger called r

I wrote my own ideas of how it compares to APScheduler (and other alternatives) here: https://rocketry.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rocketry_vs_altern... Note that this is my own opinions which probably are a bit bias
