Crontabula is a small library for parsing Crontab expressions into Python objects. The usage is simple:
import crontabula
crontab = crontabula.parse("*/10 3,6 * * 1-4")
print(crontab.next)
# datetime.datetime(...)Install with:
pip install crontabula
Crontabula comes with a small utility to print debug information about a crontab expression. Make sure you install the
library with the cli extra (pip install "crontabula[cli]").
$ crontabula "*/15 * 1,15 * 1-5,6"
