It's not documented, but there is a parameter that you can specify with the date and time for a post to be published when setting up a "queued" post: publish_on

import pytumblr

# pytumblr does not currently have support for setting 'publish_on', but this adds it for this file
old_post_valid_options = pytumblr.TumblrRestClient._post_valid_options
def new_post_valid_options(self, post_type=None):
    return ['publish_on'] + old_post_valid_options(self, post_type)
pytumblr.TumblrRestClient._post_valid_options = new_post_valid_options

client = pytumblr.TumblrRestClient(...)  # pass in your credentials
txt = client.create_text(
    "blogName",
    state="queue",
    publish_on="2018-05-17T21:59:00",  # I believe this time needs to be in UTC
    title="Testing",
    body="body of text post")

Thanks.

But am still trying to understand the code.

No big deal. I can still use it.

The pytumblr.TumblrRestClient._post_valid_options = new_post_valid_options line is basically monkey-patching the pytumblr code to change its behavior.

Because the pytumblr code that you're using was probably installed with pip, you can't easily edit it and it does not currently allow you to use the param publish_on, so this code changes how pytumblr works when used in this file to add publish_on as a valid parameter to use.
