Simple mutli-threaded scheduler using sched - stuck

[Mzarour]

Hi there

I need help creating a scheduler that runs indefinitely.
While the scheduler is running users can schedule new events using enter or enterabs.

I’m struggling to do that using a thread or indefinite loop.

Please help

I have a basic timer class here. With a simple modification, you can make events recurring, see: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Multi-thr...ight=timer

Thanks Larz60+ but looking for a simple (i'm new to python) solution which involves the sched library

Here is my attempt so far. My problem is that as soon as scheduler events complete, nothing else runs

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55

import sched import threading import time   scheduler = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)   # Set up a global to be modified by the threads counter = 0     def increment_counter(name):     global counter     print('EVENT:', time.time(), name)     counter += 1     print('NOW:', counter)     print('START:', time.time()) e1 = scheduler.enter(5, 1, increment_counter, ('Liverpool match on TV',)) e2 = scheduler.enter(8, 1, increment_counter, ('Take the rubbish bin out',))   def worker():     print("running worker")     scheduler.run   # Start a thread to run the events t = threading.Thread(target=worker, args=()) t.start()   # Back in the main thread, cancel the first scheduled event. # scheduler.cancel(e1)   while True:     print("1. Schedule an event")     print("2. View all scheduled events")     print("3. Cancel all")     print("4. Exit")       choice = int(input("enter option >> "))       if choice == 1:         print("Scheduling a new event...")         e1 = scheduler.enter(3, 1, increment_counter, ('Some event in the future, remind me!',))     if choice == 2:         print("Queue status...")         print(scheduler.queue)     if choice == 3:         print("Cancelling all events...")         for ev in scheduler.queue:             scheduler.cancel(ev)     if choice == 4:         print("Exiting..")         break   print('FINAL:', counter)
