In Python automation, how do I schedule periodic jobs?

In Python automation, scheduling periodic jobs can be performed using various libraries, with the most popular being schedule and APScheduler. These libraries allow you to set up tasks that run at specific intervals, making automation more efficient.

Example using the schedule library


import schedule
import time

def job():
    print("Job is running...")

# Schedule the job to run every minute
schedule.every(1).minutes.do(job)

while True:
    schedule.run_pending()
    time.sleep(1)
