Ask HN: What you use for task scheduling in Python + Flask?

[bluedog]

Celery seems too heavy for doing causal scheduling like calling APIs every hour and doing some database based calculation.

How promising "Advanced Python Scheduler" is, have you used it?

Are there any good libraries available for Python + Flask?

Redis Queue: http://python-rq.org https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-rq

I already have PostgreSQL, so having Redis would be additional pain. But, thanks, will check it out.
