使用python包entry_point名称运行cron任务

Question

Is there any way to run cron task with python package name (specified the in entry_point)?

setup.py

from setuptools import setup

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='myapp-cli',
    (..blah..)
    packages=[
        'myapp_cli'
    ],
    install_requires=['configparser', 'requests'],
    entry_points={
        'console_scripts': [
              'myapp= myapp_cli.main:cli'
          ]
    },
    zip_safe=True
)

It works in shell:

myapp do_stuff

I want to run app by name in cron task like this:

* * * * * /something_here? myapp do_stuff >> myapp.log 2>&1

I can't figure out how python packages entry_point works and how to use it in cron. Is it possible?

Answer 1

This is not a Python issue, but linux / shell.

The easiest way to fix it may be to use absolute paths, for Python and your script.

Assuming your entry point is located at /usr/sbin/myapp (you should find it with which myapp )

* * * * * /usr/bin/env python /usr/sbin/myapp do_stuff >> myapp.log 2>&1
