scheduled job only runs once
#1
import time
import schedule

def job():
    import asdf_1 # "asdf_1" is a .py file that runs fine on its own

schedule.every().day.at("13:00").do(job)

while True:
    schedule.run_pending()
    time.sleep(1)
the above code only runs once at the first 13:00 mark. it doesn't run the next day or the day after or ever. why? i know crontab is a more versatile (and perhaps reliable) scheduling module. but at this point i'm more curious why the "schedule" module doesn't work in this case.

All that you code do is importing module. Python's modules are imported only once per process.

refactor asdf_1?
