Docket is a distributed background task system for Python functions with a focus
on the scheduling of future work as seamlessly and efficiently as immediate work.

## At a glance

```python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone

from docket import Docket


async def greet(name: str, greeting="Hello") -> None:
    print(f"{greeting}, {name} at {datetime.now()}!")


async with Docket() as docket:
    await docket.add(greet)("Jane")

    now = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
    soon = now + timedelta(seconds=3)
    await docket.add(greet, when=soon)("John", greeting="Howdy")
```

```python
from docket import Docket, Worker

async with Docket() as docket:
    docket.register(greet)
    async with Worker(docket) as worker:
        await worker.run_until_finished()
```

```
Hello, Jane at 2025-03-05 13:58:21.552644!
Howdy, John at 2025-03-05 13:58:24.550773!
```

## Why `docket`?

⚡️ Snappy one-way background task processing without any bloat

📅 Schedule immediate or future work seamlessly with the same interface

⏭️ Skip problematic tasks or parameters without redeploying

🌊 Purpose-built for Redis streams

🧩 Fully type-complete and type-aware for your background task functions

💉 Dependency injection like FastAPI, Typer, and FastMCP for reusable resources

## Installing `docket`

Docket is [available on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pydocket/) under the package name
`pydocket`. It targets Python 3.10 or above.

With [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):

```bash
uv pip install pydocket

or

uv add pydocket
```

With `pip`:

```bash
pip install pydocket
```

Docket requires [Redis](https://redis.io/) 6.2 or later, or
[Valkey](https://valkey.io/) 8.0 or later. Docket is tested with:

- Redis 6.2 and 8.10, and Redis 8.10 in cluster mode
- Valkey 8.0 and 9.1
- In-memory backend via [burner-redis](https://github.com/prefectlabs/burner-redis) for testing

For testing without Redis, use the in-memory backend:

```python
from docket import Docket

async with Docket(name="my-docket", url="memory://my-docket") as docket:
    # Use docket normally - all operations are in-memory
    ...
```

See [Testing with Docket](https://docket.lol/en/latest/testing/#using-in-memory-backend-no-redis-required) for more details.

# Hacking on `docket`

We use [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for project management.  The
repository is a uv workspace, and the Python package lives in its `python/`
directory.  From a clone of the repository:

```bash
uv sync
cd python
uv run pytest
```

We aim to maintain 100% test coverage, which is required for all PRs to `docket`. We
believe that `docket` should stay small, simple, understandable, and reliable, and that
begins with testing all the dusty branches and corners. This will give us the
confidence to upgrade dependencies quickly and to adapt to new versions of Redis over
time.

To work on the documentation locally, from the repository root:

```bash
uv sync
uv run zensical serve
```

This will start a local preview server. The docs are built with
[Zensical](https://zensical.org/) and configured in `mkdocs.yml`.
