Issue with python schedule library

I'm trying to use the python schedule library to run a script every day at midnight on GMT-7. I'm assuming it's using GMT time, or system time, so I set it to run at 17:00 every day, but for some reason is starts straight away every time I run it. This is the code I am using.

schedule.every().day.at("17:00").do(getRegressionData(subredditList))
while True:
    schedule.run_pending()
    time.sleep(1)

Any ideea what might be causing this?

You are currently explicitly calling the getRegressionData function with the argument subredditList and pass the return value to do.

As per the docs, do accepts a function and optional positional and keyword arguments. It then calls the function for you at the desired time with the provided arguments.

Use do(getRegressionData, subredditList).
