python:How to modify globals inside functions with schelude?

Question

import time
import schedule

seconds = 0.01

def job():
    print("I'm working...")
    global seconds
    seconds += 0.01

schedule.every(seconds).minutes.do(job)

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

It won't actually increase seconds every time it gets executed,sorry for the bad explanation was in a hurry

Answer 1

Remove the line

seconds = 0.01

from your function. Every time this function is invoked, your variable seconds keeps getting re-initialised to 0.01, thus not letting it increase any further. You have already initialised it once at the time of declaration, so don’t need to do it again and again.

def job():
    print("I'm working...")
    global seconds
    seconds += 0.01
