Here are Steps you have to follow :

Step 1 :
          In view file simply write as under
          <record model="ir.cron" id="resource_panelty_cron">
            <field name="name">Resource Panelty Count</field>
            <field name="interval_number">1</field>
            <field name="interval_type">minute</field>
            <field name="numbercall">-1</field>
            <field eval="False" name="doall"/>
            <field eval="'lib.register'" name="model"/>
            <field eval="'compute_penalty'" name="function"/>  # call the function in .py file
            <field eval="'()'" name="args"/>
        </record>

Step 2 :
        you can also directly create your Scheduler :
         like ,
         1.       First you simply go setting - > configuration -> scheduler -> scheduler_action

      2.  Now create new Scheduler  here interval number and interval unit important

   3.  Now , in object simply write your table name and in Method write your .py file method 

        which you want to call at every repeated time.
