APScheduler for Django.
This little wrapper around APScheduler enables storing persistent jobs in the database using Django's ORM rather than requiring SQLAlchemy or some other bloatware.
Features in this project:
- Work on both python2.* and python3+
- Manage jobs from Django admin interface
- Monitor your job execution status: duration, exception, traceback, input parameters.
pip install django-apscheduler
-
Add
django_apscheduler
toINSTALLED_APPS
in your Django project settings, You can also specify a different format for displaying runtime timestamps in the Django admin site usingAPSCHEDULER_DATETIME_FORMAT
:INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... django_apscheduler, ) APSCHEDULER_DATETIME_FORMAT = "N j, Y, f:s a" # Default
-
Run migrations:
./manage.py migrate
-
Instantiate a new scheduler as you would with APScheduler. For example:
from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler scheduler = BackgroundScheduler()
-
Instruct the scheduler to use
DjangoJobStore
:from django_apscheduler.jobstores import DjangoJobStore # If you want all scheduled jobs to use this store by default, # use the name 'default' instead of 'djangojobstore'. scheduler.add_jobstore(DjangoJobStore(), 'djangojobstore')
-
If you want per-execution monitoring, call register_events on your scheduler:
from django_apscheduler.jobstores import register_events register_events(scheduler)
-
Old job executions can be deleted with:
DjangoJobExecution.objects.delete_old_job_executions(604_800) # Delete job executions older than 7 days
-
Register any jobs as you would normally. Note that if you haven't set
DjangoJobStore
as the'default'
job store, you'll need to includejobstore='djangojobstore'
in yourscheduler.add_job
calls. -
Don't forget to give each job a unique id. For example:
@scheduler.scheduled_job("interval", seconds=60, id="job") def job(): ...
or use custom decorator for job registration. It will give id automatically:
from django_apscheduler.jobstores import register_job @register_job("interval", seconds=60) def job(): ...
-
Start the scheduler:
scheduler.start()
A full example project can be found in the example dir. Code snippet:
import time
from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
from django_apscheduler.jobstores import DjangoJobStore, register_events, register_job
scheduler = BackgroundScheduler()
scheduler.add_jobstore(DjangoJobStore(), "default")
@register_job(scheduler, "interval", seconds=1)
def test_job():
time.sleep(4)
print("I'm a test job!")
# raise ValueError("Olala!")
register_events(scheduler)
scheduler.start()
print("Scheduler started!")
