[Tutor] help: threading + cron in python?

[Pierre Barbier de Reuille]

Ok, there is an easy way :)
You can write something like :

from datetime import datetime
import time
def run_at( t, fct, fct_args = (), fct_words = {}):
   now = datetime.today()
   delta = (t-now).minutes
   time.sleep(delta)
   fct(*fct_args, **fct_kwords)


Now you can just launch this function in a new thread :)
It will wait the wanted time and launch the function at that moment !
