scheduled job only runs once

[Stan2292]

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.

why?

def job():
    import asdf_1 

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

would love to know the alternative... other than execfile of course...
