I have to download some files from source at 10AM,1PM and 12AM in a day and after downloading is done,I need to send them to my database. I want to do this daily. What should i write in the space for "code for periodic tasks". Also please tell me if there are any other mistakes? Thanks in advance. 

@app.task 
def download(args):
    //code for downloading 
    upload_to_db.delay(args)

@app.task
def upload_to_db(args):
    //code for saving to database

//code for periodic tasks
download.delay(args)

  • StackOverflow is not an oursourcing community. Please make a serious attempt at solving the problem yourself first and then describe where you got stuck and why.

  • @LutzPrechelt I tried many approaches given in the cron-tab schedules, but none of them satisfied my requirement. Everywhere it is given how to do the tasks at a particular time daily but not as per my requirement. That is why I posted this question. I am not asking without even giving a try. – user4327436 Mar 04 '15 at 19:15

You can use celery beat for cron-style scheduling: http://celery.readthedocs.org/en/latest/userguide/periodic-tasks.html#crontab-schedules

    Thanks for the link. I already went through that. That is about doing tasks at a particular time daily not at regular intervals daily. – user4327436 Mar 04 '15 at 19:17
  • both options are in there, just take another look. if you're 100% certain that cron-style scheduling won't solve your needs in this case, i'd appreciate some clarification of the requirements, because right now i don't see anything in your question that cron isn't the answer for – nthall Mar 04 '15 at 20:19
