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)  # 1st Saturday, and 2nd Sunday of the month
    >>> print(iter.get_next(datetime))   # 2010-02-06 00:00:00
    >>>
    >>> iter = croniter('0 0 * * 5#3,L5', base)  # 3rd and last Friday of the month
    >>> print(iter.get_next(datetime))   # 2010-01-29 00:00:00
    >>> print(iter.get_next(datetime))   # 2010-02-19 00:00:00


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

You can validate your crons using ``is_valid`` class method. (>= 0.3.18)::

    >>> croniter.is_valid('0 0 1 * *')  # True
    >>> croniter.is_valid('0 wrong_value 1 * *')  # False

About DST
=========
Be sure to init your croniter instance with a TZ aware datetime for this to work!

Example using pytz::

    >>> import pytz
    >>> tz = pytz.timezone("Europe/Paris")
    >>> local_date = tz.localize(datetime(2017, 3, 26))
    >>> val = croniter('0 0 * * *', local_date).get_next(datetime)

Example using python_dateutil::

    >>> import dateutil.tz
    >>> tz = dateutil.tz.gettz('Asia/Tokyo')
    >>> local_date = datetime(2017, 3, 26, tzinfo=tz)
    >>> val = croniter('0 0 * * *', local_date).get_next(datetime)

Example using python built in module::

    >>> from datetime import datetime, timezone
    >>> local_date = datetime(2017, 3, 26, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
    >>> val = croniter('0 0 * * *', local_date).get_next(datetime)

About second repeats
=====================
Croniter is able to do second repetition crontabs form and by default seconds are the 6th field::

    >>> base = datetime(2012, 4, 6, 13, 26, 10)
    >>> itr = croniter('* * * * * 15,25', base)
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime) # 4/6 13:26:15
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime) # 4/6 13:26:25
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime) # 4/6 13:27:15

You can also note that this expression will repeat every second from the start datetime.::

    >>> croniter('* * * * * *', local_date).get_next(datetime)

You can also use seconds as first field::

    >>> itr = croniter('15,25 * * * * *', base, second_at_beginning=True)


About year
===========
Croniter also support year field.
Year presents at the seventh field, which is after second repetition.
The range of year field is from 1970 to 2099.
To ignore second repetition, simply set second to ``0`` or any other const::

    >>> base = datetime(2012, 4, 6, 2, 6, 59)
    >>> itr = croniter('0 0 1 1 * 0 2020/2', base)
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime) # 2020 1/1 0:0:0
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime) # 2022 1/1 0:0:0
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime) # 2024 1/1 0:0:0

Support for start_time shifts
==============================
See https://github.com/kiorky/croniter/pull/76,
You can set start_time=, then expand_from_start_time=True for your generations to be computed from start_time instead of calendar days::

    >>> from pprint import pprint
    >>> iter = croniter('0 0 */7 * *', start_time=datetime(2024, 7, 11), expand_from_start_time=True);pprint([iter.get_next(datetime) for a in range(10)])
    [datetime.datetime(2024, 7, 18, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 7, 25, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 4, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 11, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 18, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 25, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 9, 4, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 9, 11, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 9, 18, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 9, 25, 0, 0)]
    >>> # INSTEAD OF THE DEFAULT BEHAVIOR:
    >>> iter = croniter('0 0 */7 * *', start_time=datetime(2024, 7, 11), expand_from_start_time=False);pprint([iter.get_next(datetime) for a in range(10)])
    [datetime.datetime(2024, 7, 15, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 7, 22, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 7, 29, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 1, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 8, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 15, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 22, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 29, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 9, 1, 0, 0),
     datetime.datetime(2024, 9, 8, 0, 0)]


Testing if a date matches a crontab
===================================
Test for a match with (>=0.3.32)::

    >>> croniter.match("0 0 * * *", datetime(2019, 1, 14, 0, 0, 0, 0))
    True
    >>> croniter.match("0 0 * * *", datetime(2019, 1, 14, 0, 2, 0, 0))
    False
    >>>
    >>> croniter.match("2 4 1 * wed", datetime(2019, 1, 1, 4, 2, 0, 0)) # 04:02 on every Wednesday OR on 1st day of month
    True
    >>> croniter.match("2 4 1 * wed", datetime(2019, 1, 1, 4, 2, 0, 0), day_or=False) # 04:02 on every 1st day of the month if it is a Wednesday
    False

Testing if a crontab matches in datetime range
==============================================
Test for a match_range with (>=2.0.3)::

    >>> croniter.match_range("0 0 * * *", datetime(2019, 1, 13, 0, 59, 0, 0), datetime(2019, 1, 14, 0, 1, 0, 0))
    True
    >>> croniter.match_range("0 0 * * *", datetime(2019, 1, 13, 0, 1, 0, 0), datetime(2019, 1, 13, 0, 59, 0, 0))
    False
    >>> croniter.match_range("2 4 1 * wed", datetime(2019, 1, 1, 3, 2, 0, 0), datetime(2019, 1, 1, 5, 1, 0, 0))
    # 04:02 on every Wednesday OR on 1st day of month
    True
    >>> croniter.match_range("2 4 1 * wed", datetime(2019, 1, 1, 3, 2, 0, 0), datetime(2019, 1, 1, 5, 2, 0, 0), day_or=False)
    # 04:02 on every 1st day of the month if it is a Wednesday
    False

Gaps between date matches
=========================
For performance reasons, croniter limits the amount of CPU cycles spent attempting to find the next match.
Starting in v0.3.35, this behavior is configurable via the ``max_years_between_matches`` parameter, and the default window has been increased from 1 year to 50 years.

The defaults should be fine for many use cases.
Applications that evaluate multiple cron expressions or handle cron expressions from untrusted sources or end-users should use this parameter.
Iterating over sparse cron expressions can result in increased CPU consumption or a raised ``CroniterBadDateError`` exception which indicates that croniter has given up attempting to find the next (or previous) match.
Explicitly specifying ``max_years_between_matches`` provides a way to limit CPU utilization and simplifies the iterable interface by eliminating the need for ``CroniterBadDateError``.
The difference in the iterable interface is based on the reasoning that whenever ``max_years_between_matches`` is explicitly agreed upon, there is no need for croniter to signal that it has given up; simply stopping the iteration is preferable.

This example matches 4 AM Friday, January 1st.
Since January 1st isn't often a Friday, there may be a few years between each occurrence.
Setting the limit to 15 years ensures all matches::

    >>> it = croniter("0 4 1 1 fri", datetime(2000,1,1), day_or=False, max_years_between_matches=15).all_next(datetime)
    >>> for i in range(5):
    ...     print(next(it))
    ...
    2010-01-01 04:00:00
    2016-01-01 04:00:00
    2021-01-01 04:00:00
    2027-01-01 04:00:00
    2038-01-01 04:00:00

However, when only concerned with dates within the next 5 years, simply set ``max_years_between_matches=5`` in the above example.
This will result in no matches found, but no additional cycles will be wasted on unwanted matches far in the future.

Iterating over a range using cron
=================================
Find matches within a range using the ``croniter_range()`` function.  This is much like the builtin ``range(start,stop,step)`` function, but for dates.  The `step` argument is a cron expression.
Added in (>=0.3.34)

List the first Saturday of every month in 2019::

    >>> from croniter import croniter_range
    >>> for dt in croniter_range(datetime(2019, 1, 1), datetime(2019, 12, 31), "0 0 * * sat#1"):
    >>>     print(dt)


Hashed expressions
==================

croniter supports Jenkins-style hashed expressions, using the "H" definition keyword and the required hash_id keyword argument.
Hashed expressions remain consistent, given the same hash_id, but different hash_ids will evaluate completely different to each other.
This allows, for example, for an even distribution of differently-named jobs without needing to manually spread them out.

    >>> itr = croniter("H H * * *", hash_id="hello")
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime)
    datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 10, 11, 10)
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime)
    datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 11, 11, 10)
    >>> itr = croniter("H H * * *", hash_id="hello")
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime)
    datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 10, 11, 10)
    >>> itr = croniter("H H * * *", hash_id="bonjour")
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime)
    datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 10, 20, 52)


Random expressions
==================

Random "R" definition keywords are supported, and remain consistent only within their croniter() instance.

    >>> itr = croniter("R R * * *")
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime)
    datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 10, 22, 56)
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime)
    datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 11, 22, 56)
    >>> itr = croniter("R R * * *")
    >>> itr.get_next(datetime)
    datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 11, 4, 19)


Note about Ranges
=================

Note that as a deviation from cron standard, croniter is somehow laxist with ranges and will allow ranges of ``Jan-Dec``, & ``Sun-Sat`` in reverse way and interpret them as following examples:

    - ``Apr-Jan``: from April to january
    - ``Sat-Sun``: Saturday, Sunday
    - ``Wed-Sun``: Wednesday to Saturday, Sunday

Please note that if a /step is given, it will be respected.

Note about Sunday
=================

Note that as a deviation from cron standard, croniter like numerous cron implementations supports ``SUNDAY`` to be expressed as ``DAY7``, allowing such expressions:

    - ``0 0 * * 7``
    - ``0 0 * * 6-7``
    - ``0 0 * * 6,7``


Keyword expressions
===================

Vixie cron-style "@" keyword expressions are supported.
What they evaluate to depends on whether you supply hash_id: no hash_id corresponds to Vixie cron definitions (exact times, minute resolution), while with hash_id corresponds to Jenkins definitions (hashed within the period, second resolution).

    ============ ============ ================
    Keyword      No hash_id   With hash_id
    ============ ============ ================
    @midnight    0 0 * * *    H H(0-2) * * * H
    @hourly      0 * * * *    H * * * * H
    @daily       0 0 * * *    H H * * * H
    @weekly      0 0 * * 0    H H * * H H
    @monthly     0 0 1 * *    H H H * * H
    @yearly      0 0 1 1 *    H H H H * H
    @annually    0 0 1 1 *    H H H H * H

  [kiorky]


1.2.0 (2022-01-14)

  [kiorky]

1.1.0 (2021-12-03)
------------------

- Enforce validation for month=1. Before this release we used to support month=0 and it was silently glided to month=1 to support having both day in month in 4th field when it came to have 6fields cron forms (second repeat).

  [kiorky]

  [ kiorky ]


1.0.11 (2021-04-07)
-------------------

- fix bug: bad case:``0 6 30 3 *``
  [zed2015(zhangchi)]
- Add support for ``L`` in the day_of_week component.  This enable expressions like ``* * * * L4``, which means last Thursday of the month.  This resolves #159.
  [Kintyre]
- Create ``CroniterUnsupportedSyntaxError`` exception for situations where CRON syntax may be valid but some combinations of features is not supported.
  Currently, this is used when the ``day_of_week`` component has a combination of literal values and nth/last syntax at the same time.
  For example, ``0 0 * * 1,L6`` or ``0 0 * * 15,sat#1`` will both raise this exception because of mixing literal days of the week with nth-weekday or last-weekday syntax.
  This *may* impact existing cron expressions in prior releases, because ``0 0 * * 15,sat#1`` was previously allowed but incorrectly handled.
  [Kintyre]

- Update ``croniter_range()`` to allow an alternate ``croniter`` class to be used.  Helpful when using a custom class derived from croniter.
  [Kintyre]


1.0.10 (2021-03-25)
-------------------

- Remove external library ``natsort``.
  Sorting of cron expression components now handled with ``sorted()`` with a custom ``key`` function.

  [kiorky]


1.0.8 (2021-03-06)
------------------

- Update `_expand` to lowercase each component of the expression.
  This is in relation to #157. With this change, croniter accepts and correctly handles `* * 10-L * *`.
  [cuu508]


1.0.7 (2021-03-02)
------------------

- Fix _expand to reject int literals with underscores
  [cuu508]

  [Kintyre]
- Don't install tests
  [scop]


0.3.35 (2020-10-11)
-------------------

- Handle L in ranges. This fixes #142.
  [kiorky]
- Add a new initialization parameter ``max_years_between_matches`` to support finding the next/previous date beyond the default 1 year window, if so desired.  Updated README to include additional notes and example of this usage.  Fixes #145.
  [Kintyre]
- The ``croniter_range()`` function was updated to automatically determines the appropriate ``max_years_between_matches`` value, this preventing handling of the ``CroniterBadDateError`` exception.
  [Kintyre]
- Updated exception handling classes:  ``CroniterBadDateError`` now only
  applies during date finding operations (next/prev), and all parsing errors can now be caught using ``CroniterBadCronError``.  The ``CroniterNotAlphaError`` exception is now a subclass of ``CroniterBadCronError``.  A brief description of each exception class was added as an inline docstring.
  [Kintyre]
- Updated iterable interfaces to replace the ``CroniterBadDateError`` with ``StopIteration`` if (and only if) the ``max_years_between_matches`` argument is provided.  The rationale here is that if the user has specified the max tolerance between matches, then there's no need to further inform them of no additional matches.  Just stop the iteration.  This also keeps backwards compatibility.
  [Kintyre]
- Minor docs update
  [Kintyre]

-------------------
- Don't count previous minute if now is dynamic
  If the code is triggered from 5-asterisk based cron
  ``get_prev`` based on ``datetime.now()`` is expected to return
  current cron iteration and not previous execution.
