Taskick is an event-driven Python library that automatically executes scripts or any commands. It not only automates tedious routine tasks and operations, but also makes it easy to develop applications.
The main features of Taskick are as follows
- Automatically execute commands and scripts.
- Script execution timing can be managed in a configuration file (YAML).
- You can specify datetime and directory/file operations as task triggers.
And,
- Execution schedules can be specified in Crontab format.
- Watchdog is used to detect directory and file operations. Any events API provided by Watchdog can be specified in the configuration file.
$ pip install taskick
$ python -m taskick

--verbose, -v increase the verbosity of messages: '-v' for normal output, '-vv' for more
verbose output and '-vvv' for debug
--version, -V display this application version and exit
--batch-load BATCH_LOAD, -b BATCH_LOAD
configuration files can be load in batches

Taskick 0.1.6Here is a toy-eample that converts a PNG image to PDF. In this sample, the conversion script is automatically invoked when it detects that a PNG image has been saved to a specific folder. The script converts the PNG to PDF and saves it in another folder.
First, clone taskick-example.
git clone https://github.com/atsuyaide/taskick-example.gitThen, execute the following command.
$ cd taskick-example
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python -m taskick -b batch.yaml -vv

Sun Apr 24 23:25:43 JST 2022 Welcome to Taskick!
waiting 5 seconds...
INFO:taskick:Executing: remove_files_in_input_folderYou can now launch an application that converts PNG images to PDF.
When a PNG image is saved in the input folder, a converted PDF file is output in the output folder.
Files in the input folder are automatically deleted at startup or every minute.
The application consists of welcome.yaml and main.yaml, and Taskick reads the two files indirectly by loading batch.yaml.
For details of the configuration files, see the project page.
