ftfy VS schedule

If you’re actually in a position where you need to guess the encoding, something like “ftfy” <https://github.com/rspeer/python-ftfy> (webapp: <https://ftfy.vercel.app/>) is a perfectly reasonable choice.

But, you should always do your absolute utmost not to be put in a situation where guessing is your only choice.

ftfy

Thank you for your insight!

I asked about it to the dev if you're interested, by the way. No replies yet though, since the lib isn't very active to begin with.

similar to this this library in python3

schedule

https://github.com/dbader/schedule should do the trick with running periodically.

https://github.com/dbader/schedule might help as well

Python provides two different modules, sched and concurrent.futures and it is in the hands of the user to implement the ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor. Though there are packages that provide scheduling in Python, there is no implementation as close to the one provided by Java. So, I’ve implemented the same with the APIs to closely resemble the ones in Java.

You can use the Schedule package

You could look into using cron (a UNIX utility you can use to run commands on a schedule) or schedule, which I don't have a ton of experience with but which is pretty popular and well supported.

I need to run a certain task periodically on my Flask application. I decided to use a simple library - Schedule (https://github.com/dbader/schedule) for doing this. I am running the task scheduler on a separate thread from the main application thread. Here's the relevant code snippet.
