Asynchronous Background Task Scheduler

Project Overview

aioskd is a powerful Python library designed to handle the execution of background tasks asynchronously and at scheduled intervals. It provides an efficient and flexible scheduler, making it effortless to integrate asynchronous background processing into your Python projects.

As applications grow more complex, certain tasks need to be executed in the background without affecting the responsiveness of the main application. AIOSKD is the perfect solution for such scenarios, as it allows you to offload these tasks to asynchronous workers, ensuring smooth execution and a better user experience.

Features

• Asynchronous execution of background tasks
• Customizable scheduling of tasks at specified intervals
• Easy-to-use API for integrating with your Python projects
• Lightweight and efficient

Installation

You can install aioskd using pip:

pip install aioskd

Usage

Creating the Scheduler

To get started, import the necessary modules and create an instance of the Scheduler class:

from aioskd import Scheduler


skd = Scheduler()

Scheduling Tasks

Scheduling Tasks with Decorators (Existing Method)

You can schedule tasks using the schedule decorator as shown below:

import datetime
import asyncio

@skd.schedule(interval=datetime.timedelta(seconds=1))
async def task_one():
    print("Task One - Hello world!")     
    await asyncio.sleep(2)  # Simulate some async work taking 2 seconds  

@skd.schedule(interval=datetime.timedelta(seconds=5))
async def task_two():
    print("Task Two - I'm running every 5 seconds!")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)  # Simulate some async work taking 1 second

Scheduling Tasks without Decorators (New Method)

Alternatively, you can also register tasks without using decorators. Here's how you can do it:

import datetime
import asyncio
from aioskd import Scheduler

skd = Scheduler()

async def test_task(name: str, age: int = 25):
    print(f"Hello {name} with age {age}")

skd.register_task(test_task, "John", age=30).schedule(interval=datetime.timedelta(seconds=5))
skd.register_task(test_task, "Alice", age=28).schedule(interval=datetime.timedelta(seconds=2))

In this example, the test_task function is registered with the scheduler using the register_task method. You can pass the function along with its arguments to register_task, and then schedule it with the desired interval using the schedule method.

Running the Scheduler

To start the scheduler and run the scheduled tasks, you can use the run() method:

skd.run()

Command Line Usage

If you want to run the scheduled tasks from the command line, you can use the following command:

skd path/to/file/with/tasks:obj_of_skd

Examples

Example 1: Scheduling a Task to Fetch Data

import datetime
import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aioskd import Scheduler


skd = Scheduler()

@skd.schedule(interval=datetime.timedelta(minutes=30))
async def fetch_data():
    url = "https://api.example.com/data"
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            if response.status == 200:
                data = await response.json() 
		# Process and store the data as needed 
		print("Data fetched successfully!") 
            else:
		print("Failed to fetch data. Status code:", response.status)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    skd.run()

In this example, the fetch_data task is scheduled to run every 30 minutes. It sends a request to an API to fetch data and then processes the response accordingly.

Example 2: Sending Scheduled Reminder Emails

import datetime
import asyncio
import aiosmtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
from aioskd import Scheduler


skd = Scheduler() 

@skd.schedule(interval=datetime.timedelta(hours=24))
async def send_reminder_email():
    email_content = "Hello! Just a friendly reminder that your appointment is tomorrow."
    msg = EmailMessage()
    msg.set_content(email_content)
    msg["Subject"] = "Appointment Reminder"
    msg["From"] = "your_email@example.com"
    msg["To"] = "recipient@example.com" 
    async with aiosmtplib.SMTP("smtp.example.com", 587) as server:
	await server.starttls()
	await server.login("your_email@example.com", "your_email_password")
	await server.send_message(msg)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    skd.run()

This example schedules the send_reminder_email task to run once every 24 hours, sending a reminder email to a specified recipient about an upcoming appointment.

Example 3: Sending Weather Update Emails

import datetime
import asyncio
import aiohttp
import aiosmtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
from aioskd import Scheduler


skd = Scheduler()

async def get_weather_data(city: str) -> dict:
    url = f"https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city}&appid=YOUR_OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY"
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            data = await response.json()
            return data


async def send_weather_email(city: str, recipient: str):
    data = await get_weather_data(city)
    temperature = data["main"]["temp"]
    description = data["weather"][0]["description"]
    email_content = f"Weather Update for {city}:\n\nTemperature: {temperature} °C\nDescription: {description}"
    msg = EmailMessage()
    msg.set_content(email_content)
    msg["Subject"] = f"Weather Update for {city}"
    msg["From"] = "your_email@example.com"
    msg["To"] = recipient
    async with aiosmtplib.SMTP("smtp.example.com", 587) as server:
        await server.starttls()
        await server.login("your_email@example.com", "your_email_password")
        await server.send_message(msg)
        print(f"Weather update email sent to {recipient}")  


# Register tasks with different cities and recipients
task1 = skd.register_task(send_weather_email, "London", recipient="recipient1@example.com")
task1.schedule(interval=datetime.timedelta(hours=1))

task2 = skd.register_task(send_weather_email, "New York", recipient="recipient2@example.com")
task2.schedule(interval=datetime.timedelta(hours=2))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    skd.run()

This code demonstrates the use of AIOSKD to send weather updates via email.

schedule Decorator

• interval: datetime.timedelta
  • The interval between which the asynchronous function should be executed.
• repeat: bool
  • A flag that indicates whether the asynchronous function should be repeated or executed only once. - If set to True, the function will be scheduled to run repeatedly at the specified interval. - If set to False, the function will be executed only once.
• immediate: bool
  • A flag that controls the first execution of the scheduled function. - If set to True, the scheduler will execute the function immediately when starting the task for the FIRST TIME, and subsequent executions will be based on the interval. - If set to False, the first execution will wait for the interval before running.
• iter_count (optional): int
  • The necessary number of repeats. This parameter is applicable only when repeat is True. - It specifies the maximum number of times the function should be repeated. - If not provided, the function will continue to be repeated indefinitely until the scheduler is stopped or the coroutine is cancelled.
