Description
Howdy!
Croniter, a dependency used in the scheduling system, updated their readme to indicate that it is no longer maintained and may get pulled from pypi in March of this year:
https://pypi.org/project/croniter/
I'm creating this issue to bring it to y'all's attention since it was something I stumbled upon.
