+Advanced Python Scheduler (APScheduler) is a light but powerful in-process task
+scheduler that lets you schedule jobs (functions or any python callables) to be
+executed at times of your choosing.
+
+The development of APScheduler was heavily influenced by the `Quartz
+<http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/>`_ task scheduler written in Java, and
+it provides most of the major features that Quartz does.
+
+
+Features
+========
+
+* No external dependencies
+* Thread-safe API
+* Configurable scheduling mechanisms (triggers):
+  * Cron-like scheduling
+  * Delayed scheduling of single fire jobs (like the UNIX "at" command)
+  * Interval-based scheduling of jobs, with configurable start date and
+    repeat count
+* Configurable job stores:
+  * RAM
+  * File-based simple database (shelve)
+  * `SQLAlchemy <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/>`_ (any supported RDBMS works)
