Thank you for the bug report. I have just investigated the issue:

When I run the code above I get this error instead:

TypeError: every() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)

What version of python-crontab are you using import crontab; print crontab.__version__

And could you explain a bit more about how you are using the api and what you expect it to do in these cases?

Thank you for your humble reply

I am using this like I am reading one text file and than parse the day,hr,min from that file and pass that value to jobs.hours.every() functions and there is nothing happens to them that means it doesn't entry in crontab file according to value I passed.

example :

value = 1 # should run every hr

jobs.hours.every(value)

output
* * * * * /var/www/witty1app/frontend/www/console.php command

expected output

@hourly /var/www/witty1app/frontend/www/console.php command UpdateWorklog

Thank you !

Ah I see. The problem is your use of the API. there are two ways to set the hours:

job.every().hour() == '@hourly' == '0 * * * *'

job.hours.every(1) == '- * - - - -'

Th first sets all time slices while the second only sets hours. This is deliberate so you can set hourly slices separately if you want.
