How to schedule python job to run every hour accurately with the schedule package

Question

I am using the schedule python package and would like to run a job every hour at the :00 mark.

Is this possible?

This is the code I have right now:

def schedule_jobs(self, loop):
    logging.info('Starting scheduler...')

    schedule.every(1).hours.do(self._pldown_runner.run_pldown_job, loop)

    while True:
        schedule.run_pending()
        time.sleep(1)

The problem with this is that it runs the job every hour starting from the minute it was actually executed.

the schedule api supports it:

schedule.every().hour.at(":00").do(my_job)

So, if for example I wanted to execute every 2 hours at :00, I do something like: schedule.every(2).hours.at(":00").do(my_job) ? – Danny Jun 03 '20 at 16:14
exactly. As you wrote, you should indeed change 'hour' to 'hours'. – Roy2012 Jun 03 '20 at 16:20
Thanks for the answer! – Danny Jun 03 '20 at 16:21
