Hey Jim, I'm failing to understand the scheduler, please if its not a bother simplify it for me. In my script below I wanna send users who host stuff on my site emails when their subscription is left with 7 days to expire. Ideally twice a week for these 7 days. I'm hosting my app with pythonanywhere. How do i put it together?
*CODE*: *import datetimedef email_reminder(): dt=db(db.house_owner).select() for dt in dt: now_dt=dt.expiry_date-request.now.date() now_dt2=now_dt.days new_con=dt.controller+1 if now_dt2 <= 7: mail.send(to=dt.email_address,subject="House Hosting Reminder",message ='Hello %s %s, \nThis is a reminder that your house listing with our service will expire in %d days. \nTo increase your suscription time or for further details please contact us at the given details.\n\nBest regards;' % (dt.Name, dt.Surname, now_dt2)) db(db.house_owner.controller).update(controller=new_con)* *Regards; * On Tuesday, September 1, 2020 at 4:02:42 PM UTC+2 Jim S wrote: > The web2py scheduler pretty much is a background task that runs > unnoticed. > > I use it in a number of places to queue hundreds or thousands of outbound > emails.
