Highlander – Stop Overlapping Python Cron Jobs

In plain words

Highlander is a Python tool that prevents multiple instances of cron jobs from running simultaneously. It ensures only one process executes at a time, preventing overlapping job execution. The tool is designed for developers managing scheduled tasks in Python environments who need to avoid duplicate or concurrent job runs.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
