It supports the full AWS cron field syntax\u2014minutes, hours, day-of-month, month, day-of-week, and year\u2014with all standard wildcards including the AWS-specific ones (L for last day, W for weekday, # for nth occurrence). The package depends only on python-dateutil for datetime handling.\n\nYou use it by instantiating an AWSCron object with a cron expression string, then calling methods to find the next or previous occurrence from a given datetime, or to fetch all matching times within a date range. It offers both iterative methods (next/prev) for memory-efficient streaming and batch methods (get_all_schedule_bw_dates, get_next_n_schedule, get_prev_n_schedule) for retrieving multiple results at once.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse AWS cron expressions in Python. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. However, maintenance is dormant\u2014no updates since the last commit in August 2024\u2014so it will not receive fixes for new AWS cron features or Python compatibility issues. Use it for read-only cron parsing and scheduling queries; do not rely on it for active feature development."},"id":"pyawscron","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyawscron","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyawscron.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyawscron/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyawscron","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An AWS Cron Parser"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":797038,"position":5032,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.7"}
