Modern Windowsen also have the "AT" command line program which is sometimes a much more appropriate way to get at that capability than the "Scheduler" GUI approach. Haven't had occasion to use either yet, myself...
Personally I use the scheduler GUI and the schtasks.exe command-line program which is an interface to the same capability. At.exe gives you an interface to an older API.
But there is a Python interface to the older API. Here's an example:
