Python Script Scheduling

Question

I am a complete novice, and have had a script written for me that scrapes football stats data.

I would like to automate this process nightly at 8 pm, however, have not been able to crack it. I assume it is not overly complex - however it has been for my inexperience.

My "googling" has led me to "pip install schedule" ... and I have followed directions to create ...

# au_john_finalsiren_V9.py  
import schedule 
import time

def au_john_finalsiren_V9.py()
    schedule.every().day.at(20:00:00").do(au_john_finalsiren_V9.py)

while True:
   schedule.run_pending()
   time.sleep(1)

But I am missing something!!

All help is appreciated!!

Answer 1

The issue is in your code and function calling. Try to modify it in the following way:

 # au_john_finalsiren_V9.py import schedule import time def au_john_finalsiren_V9(): print('This is a function that is called every day at 20:00') schedule.every().day.at("20:00").do(au_john_finalsiren_V9) while True: schedule.run_pending() time.sleep(1)

In the function au_john_finalsiren_V9 write the code that should be executed.
