You define a schedule by passing a cron expression string and a timezone object, then call next() on the resulting Schedule object to get successive datetime instances when that schedule fires.\n\nThe package is designed for scenarios where you need to compute future execution times for a cron-like schedule in a timezone-aware context. It wraps the scheduling logic into an iterable interface, making it straightforward to generate a sequence of upcoming times. The library has been abandoned since its initial 1.0.0 release in September 2016, with no subsequent maintenance or updates.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2016-09-25, repository archived) with no maintenance path forward. While it has low install friction and a permissive license, its age and lack of updates mean it will not receive bug fixes, security patches, or compatibility updates for modern Python versions."},"id":"tzcron","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tzcron","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tzcron.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tzcron/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-09-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"tzcron","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Timezone aware Cron/Quartz parser"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":198363,"position":9733,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.0"}
