How to schedule code execution in Python?

I have a function that is running inside a for loop. My goal is to run it every day at a specific time, such as 10 am.

My code is:

def get_sql_backup_transfer(ip, folder,path_sec_folder,sec_folder,path):
    call(["robocopy",f'{ip}\\{folder}', f'{path_sec_folder}{sec_folder}',"/tee","/r:5","/w:120","/S","/MIR",f"/LOG:{path}{sec_folder}.log"])


for i in sqlserverList :
    get_sql_backup_transfer(i['ip'] , i['folder'] , path_sec_folder ,i['sec_folder'] , path )

How can I run this code automatically every day at 10 am?

Solution

  • There are some ways to do this , but the best way is using 'schedule' package, i guess
    However, in the first step install the package :

    pip install schedule

    And then use it in your code like the following codes : 

    import schedule

schedule.every().day.at("10:00").do(yourFunctionToDo,'It is 10:00')
