Apscheduler as a class member

Hi, I’m trying to create a simple class with apscheduler with specific jobstore suppose this simple example:

from datetime import datetime
from time import sleep

from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
from apscheduler.jobstores.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemyJobStore


class sched:
    def __init__(self):
        jobstores = {
            'default': SQLAlchemyJobStore(url='sqlite:///test.db')
        }
        self.scheduler = BackgroundScheduler(jobstores=jobstores)
        job2 = self.scheduler.add_job(self.tick, 'interval', args=[1, 2], kwargs=dict(a=2,b=3), seconds=5, replace_existing=True)
        self.scheduler.start()

    def tick(self, i, j, **kwargs):
        print("hello{} {}".format(i, j))
        for k in kwargs:
            print(k, ":", kwargs[k])



if __name__ == '__main__':
    #print(scheduler.get_jobs())
    schedule = sched()
    while True:
        sleep(1)

but it gaves me this error:

TypeError: tick2() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘j’

but when I change the instance name with this it works fine:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    #print(scheduler.get_jobs())
    sched = sched()
    while True:
        sleep(1)

It works fine. I don’t have any problem with default jobstore. I don’t know if the problem relates to apscheduler or not but I’m a little confused here why should I use an instance name with the exact name of the class name. Thanks.

What is a “schedule class” here? I can give advice if you show me some code but I am not some free consultancy service.

Not to mention that starting the scheduler directly in __init__() is also a bad idea, particularly from the testability standpoint.
