Suppose that I have some Python code (vers. 2.6) that has been converted into an *.exe file and can be executed on a Windows (Vista or 7) platform. What can one do to have this *.exe executed at a set of specific times each day?
Well, once you've got an .exe, the question isn't really Python-specific any more. (Even without the .exe it's not really Python-specific...) Use the Windows Scheduler. You can schedule a program to run at certain times and on startup. When it fires up, it can check when it was last run (by writing to a file / registry on firing up) and deciding whether or not it needs to run. The alternative is to have it install as a service and then run its own scheduler loop, but that doesn't offer any real advantage: you're just reinventing the Windows Task Scheduler.
