Common errors

error AttributeError: module 'cronex' has no attribute 'CronEx' ↓

cause Using 'import cronex' and then 'cronex.CronEx' when CronEx is not a module-level attribute.

fix

Use 'from cronex import CronEx'.

error ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' ↓

cause Passing an empty string or malformed cron expression to CronEx.

fix

Ensure the cron expression is a valid 5-field string like '*/5 * * * *'.

Warnings

breaking The package is no longer actively maintained. It may not work with newer Python versions beyond 3.x. ↓

fix Consider alternatives like 'croniter' or 'python-crontab'.

gotcha The test() method only works with minute-level granularity. It does not support seconds. ↓

fix Ensure your cron expression has 5 fields (minute hour day month weekday).

gotcha The library does not handle timezones. All times are assumed to be local. ↓

fix Manually convert times to local timezone before using.

Imports

CronEx
wrong
```
import cronex
```
correct
```
from cronex import CronEx
```
CronEx is the main class, not the module.

Quickstart

Create a CronEx instance with a cron expression and call test() to check if the current time matches.

import time
from cronex import CronEx

cron = CronEx('*/5 * * * *')
while True:
    if cron.test():
        print("Task triggered")
    time.sleep(60)
