Currently, I have some scripts (in particular, applescript 'stay-open' scripts) that run continuously on a Mac through the day. They look in a certain folder every 30 seconds and perform the necessary work needed.
I was curious if anyone here on the list does anything similar with Python? If so, do you use launchd, cron, etc in order to start up your Python script at the appropriate time(s)? Or do you just let your Python code run continuously? I'm curious of the pros and cons with each of these. I'm assuming launchd (or something similar) is probably the better option since if a script broke it would start it back up again the next time around. Launchd also probably doesn't use as much processing power? Thanks. Jay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
