Unable to use crontab
amelio-vazquez-reina opened this issue · comments
I have tried installing crontab as:
> pip install crontab
and as:
> pip install git+git://github.com/josiahcarlson/parse-crontab
on both Python 2.7.x and Python 3.4.x without luck.
However, whenever I invoke:
from crontab import CronTab
system_cron = CronTab()
my_user_cron = CronTab(user=True)
users_cron = CronTab(user='dataxu')
I get:
> system_cron = CronTab()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-4132e81e1caa> in <module>()
----> 1 system_cron = CronTab()
TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'crontab'
Why?
You have either installed the wrong crontab package, or you are looking at the wrong docs/demos.
The docs/demos that you included above with system_cron = CronTab()
is from a different crontab package: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-crontab .
The crontab package you installed is: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/crontab .
