Using Flask with apscheduler

[Carl Bourne]

I using Python Flask to along with apscheduler and trying to add/remove jobs as follows:-

    sched = Scheduler()

    sched.start()

    print "Schedular Started"

    def new_job():

        @sched.interval_schedule(seconds=2)

        def job_function():

            print "Hello World"

    @app.route('/add')

    def add():

        new_job()

        return 'started'

This bit works as expected. However when I try to remove the job like this:

    @app.route('/remove')

    def remove():

        sched.unschedule_job(job_function.job)

        return "Removed"

I'm getting a "NameError: global name 'job_function' is not defined" as expected. My question is how can I remove a job from the schedular using a different route?

Regards.

Why is your job function not global? It won't be accessible from outside
the new_job() function. Make it global and use the add_interval_job()
method instead of the decorator.

Arr OK that makes sense! 

This is what I now have: 

sched = Scheduler()

sched.start()

print "Schedular Started"

def my_job():

    print "Hello World"

@app.route('/add')

def add():

    sched.add_interval_job(my_job, seconds=5)

    return 'added'

@app.route('/remove')

def remove():

    sched.unschedule_func(my_job)

    return "removed"

The strange thing now though is that if I use:

>>> sched.unschedule_job(my_job.job)

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'job'

However 

>>>sched.unschedule_function(my_job)

Works for me!

Just curios, but any idea why sched.unschedule_function(my_job) works here and sched.unschedule_job(my_job.job) does not?

What is "my_job" in this context?
