How to schedule your python script using windows task scheduler

to schedule a python script using windows task scheduler, follow these steps:

step 1: create a python script
first, create your python script that you want to schedule. save the script with a .py extension.

step 2: create a batch file
create a batch file that will run your python script. this is necessary because task scheduler cannot directly run python scripts.

make sure to replace "c:\path\to\your\python\script\" with the actual path to your python script.

step 3: open task scheduler
search for "task scheduler" in the windows search bar and open it.

step 4: create a new task
1. click on "create basic task" or "create task" on the right side panel.
2. enter a name and description for your task.
3. click "next".

step 5: set the trigger
1. choose the trigger for your task (e.g., daily, weekly, at startup).
2. click "next".

step 6: set the action
1. choose "start a program" as the action.
2. browse and select the batch file you created.
3. click "next".

step 7: review and finish
review your task settings and click "finish" to schedule your python script.

now, your python script will run automatically based on the schedule you set using windows task scheduler.
