run flask scheduler every hour but at random minutes

i have this code:

scheduler.add_job(id='my_job1',
                  func=my_job,
                  trigger='cron',
                  second=str(random.randint(1,59)),
                  minute='*',
                  hour='*',
                  args=[app])
scheduler.init_app(app)
scheduler.start()

the code runs every min,but when it chooses random second for the first time it won't change it , for example if it selects to run at second 10 for first time then it runs at second 10 every time , i need it to be random

A workaround is to decorate your function:

import time
import random


def add_random_sleep(func):
    """
    Decorator to add a random sleep (0-59 seconds) before calling the decorated function.
    """

    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        time.sleep(random.randint(0, 59)) # you might want 0,59 since it's inclusive
        return func(*args, **kwargs)

    return wrapper



# later in your code

scheduler.add_job(id='my_job1',
                  func=add_random_sleep(my_job),
                  trigger='cron',
                  second=..., # whatever you need for it to be 0 seconds
                  minute='*',
                  hour='*',
                  args=[app])

You normally would decorate your function when defining it like this:

@add_random_sleep
def my_job(...):
    ...

but in this case that doesn't make sense since this behaviour is specific to your function being run as a CRON job. So instead we do add_random_sleep(my_job)
