APScheduler ImportError: No module named apscheduler.schedulers.background

I have APScheduler-3.5.1 and Python 2.6.6 in staging environment.

I am getting an error while running APScheduler:

ImportError: No module named apscheduler.schedulers.background

Same code is working fine on Dev environment with Python 2.7.5. I tried installing on python 2.6 (staging) with pip2.6

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "check_executor.py", line 22, in <module>
    from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/apscheduler/schedulers/background.py", line 5, in <module>
    from apscheduler.schedulers.base import BaseScheduler

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/apscheduler/util.py", line 141
    values = {k: int(v or 0) for k, v in values.items()}

I tried APScheduler-2.1.2 but I get import error and the old one would not work for my requirements. Is python 2.6.6 version supported or do i need to account for anything more?

Solution

  • Python 2.6 support was dropped in 3.1.0, as noted here. Python 2.6 reached its end of life in October 29, 2013.
