Workers - Cron triggers now supported in Python

Python Workers can now be executed via cron triggers using scheduled event listeners, matching the existing JavaScript Workers capability. Define cron schedules in your Wrangler configuration and test with the --test-scheduled flag.

You can now create Python Workers which are executed via a cron trigger.

This is similar to how it's done in JavaScript Workers, simply define a scheduled event listener in your Worker:

from workers import handler

@handler
async def on_scheduled(event, env, ctx):
  print("cron processed")

Define a cron trigger configuration in your Wrangler configuration file:

{
	"triggers": {
		// Schedule cron triggers:
		// - At every 3rd minute
		// - At 15:00 (UTC) on first day of the month
		// - At 23:59 (UTC) on the last weekday of the month
		"crons": [
			"*/3 * * * *",
			"0 15 1 * *",
			"59 23 LW * *"
		]
	}
}
[triggers]
crons = [ "*/3 * * * *", "0 15 1 * *", "59 23 LW * *" ]

Then test your new handler by using Wrangler with the --test-scheduled flag and making a request to /cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*:

npx wrangler dev --test-scheduled

curl "http://localhost:8787/cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*"

Consult the Workers Cron Triggers page for full details on cron triggers in Workers.
