Are there any in-memory job schedulers in Python similar to Ruby's Rufus-Scheduler

Question

Just wondering if Python has something like: https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-scheduler

I don't want any database (postgres, redis, etc...) to be attached to it.

I checked out RQ and Celery, but couldn't find if they were capable of doing this without a database.

Ideally I wouldn't have to spin up any workers. I want this running in the main python process. I believe Ruby does this through EventMachine.

So what specifically are you looking to do? Schedule task for a certain time? Run tasks periodically? Anything else? — Shariq, Dec 12 '12 at 05:16
Run tasks periodically. I'd like a little job that runs on a set interval that connects to different APIs like twitter, facebook, etc... — pushmatrix, Dec 12 '12 at 17:21

For one time scheduled tasks, check out the APScheduler, here is the introduction page http://packages.python.org/APScheduler/#introduction

For periodic tasks, check out this SO question - Executing periodic actions in Python
