This python library is mainly used for task scheduling, for example, there are a bunch of tasks here, the same type of tasks must be queued for execution, and the tasks need strong management and monitoring
Asynchronous code and normal code are now supported, specifically with event loops for asynchronous code
This task scheduling is suitable for:
1.Network Requests: Handling multiple HTTP requests concurrently, where each request can be scheduled and executed asynchronously.
2.File I/O Operations: Reading from or writing to multiple files concurrently, especially when dealing with large files or when the I/O operations are slow.
3.Database Queries: Executing multiple database queries concurrently, especially when the queries involve waiting for database responses.
4.Web Scraping: Running multiple web scraping tasks concurrently, where each task involves fetching and processing web pages.
5.Real-time Data Processing: Processing real-time data streams, where tasks need to be executed as soon as data is available.
6.Background Tasks: Running background tasks that perform periodic operations, such as data aggregation, cleanup, or monitoring.
7.CPU-intensive task execution.
8.Threads in new processes can be well managed.
9.With analysis function, it can analyze which scheduler the execution function conforms.
1.You can send a termination command to the execution code
2.You can enable timeout processing for a task, and terminate the task if it runs for too long
3.When a task fails to run, it can be added to the disabled list and will not be executed thereafter
4.You can directly obtain the current task status through the interface, such as executing: "completed, error, timeout"
5.Automatically hibernate when there are no tasks
!!! WARNING: If I/O-intensive task is running in a series of blocking tasks such as time.sleep, the task cannot be
forced
terminated, it is recommended to use interruptible_sleep instead of time.sleep for long waits
So, use await asyncio.sleep for asynchronous tasks
CPU-intensive tasks do not need to be processed at all, and can be forced to end even if time.sleep is running
pip install --upgrade task_scheduling
The core function is used to create a task and submit it to the scheduler. Currently the scheduler has
cpu_asyncio_task, cpu_liner_task, io_asyncio_task, io_liner_task, timer_task
(The task is of the "io" type) I/O intensive tasks run in the threads of the main process.
