This is the TaskManager python package. It provides a system for running any number of
predefined tasks in separate threads in an organized and controlled manner.
A task in this package is a class derived from the Task class. The task should have a run
method that, when called, performs some task.
The Scheduler class is the organizing object. It manages the addition, execution, deletion,
and well being of a number of tasks. Once you have created your task class, you call the Scheduler to
get it added to the tasks to be run.
