I'm not sure what you mean by "without a tty attached to the process". If you mean no file descriptors attached to your control terminal, then some variation on foo.py < /dev/null > /dev/null (as others has suggested) might be good enough. Or, are you talking about control terminals in the process control sense? In that case, you might want to look at the "at" or "batch" commands, which do very much the same thing as cron, but without the overhead of having to edit the cron file to get things going. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
