Execute python script every 24 hours?

Question

Django

The task is next. The site is developed with django. There is a table with which you need to perform some operations every 24 hours.
With what help to implement?
I visited time.sleep, but I think it doesn't fit. I looked in the direction of cron, but did not understand how to start it.

Answer 1

https://docs.python.org/3/library/sched.html from the standard library, or a more convenient 3rd party https://pypi.python.org/pypi/schedule

Answer 2

Cron is very easy to set up. As the user on whose behalf you want to run the script, set up the crontab file
crontab -e
and add the line
0 0 * * *
which means - at zero second, zero hour (0:00), every day of the month, every month, every day of the week, execute command
Write a call to your script as a command.
Take care to specify the full path to the files.

Answer 3
