Every minute on the minute

Hello,

I am not seeing a way to do it on the minute every minute. Is there a way to do that?

* * * * * is the cron equivilent

import schedule
import time

def job():
    print("Running job: " + time.asctime())

def wait():
    while int(time.time()) % 60 != 0:
        pass
    print("End wait: {}".format(time.asctime()))

wait()
schedule.every(1).minutes.do(job)

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

This will do what you are wanting. wait() simply stalls the program until the time is 0 seconds and then goes on to schedules the jobs.

The output from the short time I was running it.

End wait: Fri Oct  6 03:13:00 2017
Running job: Fri Oct  6 03:14:00 2017
Running job: Fri Oct  6 03:15:00 2017
Running job: Fri Oct  6 03:16:00 2017
Running job: Fri Oct  6 03:17:00 2017
Running job: Fri Oct  6 03:18:00 2017

Start a thread (and don’t wait for it) on the job function, so it won’t block the scheduler thread. But be aware that depending on how much time the job takes to finish, you’ll see jobs running concurrently and you’ll need to manage race conditions.
