Treehouse Moderator 68,426 PointsHey Dipika Saha, there are many ways to schedule tasks in Python.
The list below is loosely ordered from easiest to more complicated.
*schedule – pip install – Python job scheduling for humans.
*sched - built module – The sched module defines a class which implements a general purpose event scheduler
*APScheduler – pip install – This is probably one of the easiest ways you can add a cron-like scheduler into your web-based or standalone python applications
*crontab – pip install – Cron is a utility that allows us to schedule tasks in Unix-based systems using Cron expressions.
*gevent – pip install – gevent is a coroutine -based Python networking library that uses greenlet to provide a high-level synchronous API on top of the libev or libuv event loop.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
