Make code non-blocking? - Extra - Dec-03-2022
Hello,
I have this chunk of code:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# User Input Function
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def UserInput():
command = str(Prompt.ask("[yellow]"+Commander+"[/yellow]"))
return command
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- that I believe is preventing my scheduler from running alongside my Main code. When my main code runs it activates the scheduler & prompts the user for a command. The problem is if a user doesn't input a command, the scheduler/reminders won't pop up, because it's waiting for the users command in order to circle back to the scheduler to check for any reminders.
How do I fix this, so the scheduler runs in the background of my Main code so they can both run at the same time without issues?
Thanks in advance.
Reminder Function for Scheduler:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Reminder Function
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def setReminders():
#Run the Reminder TUI
from BX_GUI_SetReminder import SetReminderTUI
SetReminderTUI()
#Schedule a Reminder
def schedule_reminder(scheduler):
connection = sqlite3.connect(MainDatabase) #Connect to Database
for reminder in connection.execute("SELECT Reminder, DateTimeStamp FROM reminders"): #Get all Reminders & DateTimeStamps from the Reminders Table
message, sched_time = reminder
scheduler.enterabs(sched_time, 1, reminderPopup, (message, sched_time))
connection.close()
def reminderPopup(Reminder, Scheduled_Time):
#Set Tilte & Msg for the Alert
alertTitle = 'Reminder Alert'
alertMsg = 'I was told to remind you to ' + Reminder
#Call the windows notification function & pass in the variables to dispay the msg
windowsNotification(alertTitle, alertMsg)
#Call the msgBox alert popup function & pass in the variables to dispay the msg
msgBox('Reminder Alert!', alertMsg, 64)
#------------------------------------------
# Remove Reminder from Database
#------------------------------------------
connection = sqlite3.connect(MainDatabase) #Connect to Database
connection.execute("DELETE FROM reminders WHERE DateTimeStamp = ?", (Scheduled_Time,)) #Delete the reminder after it's been displayed
connection.commit()
connection.close()
