Usage
============
A simple example::
>>> from croniter import croniter
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> base = datetime(2010, 1, 25, 4, 46)
>>> iter = croniter('*/5 * * * *', base) # every 5 minutes
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-01-25 04:50:00
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-01-25 04:55:00
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-01-25 05:00:00
>>>
>>> iter = croniter('2 4 * * mon,fri', base) # 04:02 on every Monday and Friday
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-01-26 04:02:00
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-01-30 04:02:00
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-02-02 04:02:00
>>>
>>> iter = croniter('2 4 1 * wed', base) # 04:02 on every Wednesday OR on 1st day of month
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-01-27 04:02:00
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-02-01 04:02:00
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-02-03 04:02:00
>>>
>>> iter = croniter('2 4 1 * wed', base, day_or=False) # 04:02 on every 1st day of the month if it is a Wednesday
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-09-01 04:02:00
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2010-12-01 04:02:00
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # 2011-06-01 04:02:00
>>> iter = croniter('0 0 * * sat#1,sun#2', base)
>>> print iter.get_next(datetime) # datetime.datetime(2010, 2, 6, 0, 0)
All you need to know is how to use the constructor and the ``get_next``
method, the signature of these methods are listed below::
>>> def __init__(self, cron_format, start_time=time.time(), day_or=True)
croniter iterates along with ``cron_format`` from ``start_time``.
``cron_format`` is **min hour day month day_of_week**, you can refer to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron for more details. The ``day_or``
switch is used to control how croniter handles **day** and **day_of_week**
entries. Default option is the cron behaviour, which connects those
values using **OR**. If the switch is set to False, the values are connected
using **AND**. This behaves like fcron and enables you to e.g. define a job that
executes each 2nd friday of a month by setting the days of month and the
weekday.
::
>>> def get_next(self, ret_type=float)
get_next calculates the next value according to the cron expression and
returns an object of type ``ret_type``. ``ret_type`` should be a ``float`` or a
``datetime`` object.
Supported added for ``get_prev`` method. (>= 0.2.0)::
>>> base = datetime(2010, 8, 25)
>>> itr = croniter('0 0 1 * *', base)
>>> print itr.get_prev(datetime) # 2010-08-01 00:00:00
>>> print itr.get_prev(datetime) # 2010-07-01 00:00:00
>>> print itr.get_prev(datetime) # 2010-06-01 00:00:00
About DST
=========
Be sure to init your croniter instance with a TZ aware datetime for this to work !::
>>> local_date = tz.localize(datetime(2017, 3, 26))
>>> val = croniter('0 0 * * *', local_date).get_next(datetime)
