How do I get a Cron like scheduler in Python? - Stack Overflow
Then your CronTab can be specified in normal python syntax as: c = CronTab ( Event (perform_backup, 0, 2, dow=6 ), Event (purge_temps, 0, range (9,18,2), dow=range (0,5)) ) This way you get the full power of Python's argument mechanics (mixing positional and keyword args, and can use symbolic names for names of weeks and months)
