Scheduling in python

[loial]

I want to enable my end users to be able to schedule a task(actually
running another python or shell script). Rather than scheduling it
directly in cron, are there any python modules I could use?

If you have a "master" process running -- it strongly depends on how that
process is structured. Is there a main loop? What does it look like? Is it
provided by some toolkit? Maybe that toolkit has an alarm event?
In the end, there isn't much too it: periodically check if "it's time", and
then possibly do something.
I doubt there's a package to do this. The basics are trivial to implement, and
everything depends strongly on the program structure, which could vary
greatly.

First hit when googling "python schedule"?
