# will execute the inside part at exactly 15:00:00 import datetime while True: t = datetime.datetime.now() if t.hour == 15 and t.minute == 0 and t.second == 0: # Your code here

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕲𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖙 𝕾𝖆𝖌𝖆 Sure, if it is enough to check every minute, time.sleep(60) will do. Just so it is clear -- the CPU allocation will be minimal. I used to have a simple daily routine checker ran in this way on the "baby Pi" and it worked smoothly :)

Just put the code inside an infinite while loop and check for the current time with a frequency you need.

Kuba Siekierzyński The code you have written will keeps CPU busy. Don't you think we can add sleep according to user interest?
