Because Daylight Saving Time shifts the offset between local and UTC time at different points in the year, a single local schedule may need multiple UTC crontabs to remain synchronized\u2014this package generates all necessary UTC variants automatically.\n\nYou can use it as a library by instantiating a Converter with a cron expression and timezone, then calling to_utc_crons() to get a list of UTC crontabs. Alternatively, use the command-line interface with the local-crontab command to convert expressions directly. The package depends on cron-converter, click, and python-dateutil.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need reliable local-to-UTC cron conversion and can accept that the package is no longer maintained. The core logic is stable and the dependencies are lightweight. No known vulnerabilities. Install it for one-time conversions or as part of a system where DST handling is critical; avoid it if you need ongoing bug fixes or support for future timezone rule changes."},"id":"local-crontab","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/local-crontab","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/local-crontab.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/local-crontab/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-07-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"local-crontab","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Convert local crontabs to UTC crontabs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":334043,"position":7495,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.0"}
