idle_seconds()

[ghostiewm]

If a job takes a long time to run there will be a lot of drift in the schedule. See the printout for a run every hour job below.

instead of

  @property
    def idle_seconds(self):
        """
        :return: Number of seconds until
                 :meth:`next_run <Scheduler.next_run>`.
        """
     return (self.next_run - datetime.datetime.now()).total_seconds()

i thinks it should be

  @property
    def idle_seconds(self):
        """
        :return: Number of seconds until
                 :meth:`next_run <Scheduler.next_run>`.
        """
     return (self.next_run - self.last_run).total_seconds()

That way it does not run on drift.
