Random Past Date Task Scheduler with APScheduler

This code defines a function named `random_task` that uses the `DateTrigger` from the APScheduler library to create a scheduled task that runs on a random past date. The function randomly selects a past date, then creates a `DateTrigger`, and after that, adds a job to the jobstore using APScheduler, which is scheduled to run on the specified date.

Technology Stack : The code uses the APScheduler library and includes the following packages and technologies: `random`, `datetime`, `apscheduler.triggers.date`, and `apscheduler.jobstore`. It leverages the `DateTrigger` for scheduling, and the `datetime` module for date manipulation.

    # Create a DateTrigger for the random date
    trigger = DateTrigger(run_date=random_date)

    # Schedule the job to run once at the random date
    job = jobstore.add_job(lambda: print("Job executed on a random past date"), trigger=trigger)
    return job
