In this tutorial, you will learn how to schedule a Python 3 script using Windows Task Scheduler. Basically, this project will be very useful when you want to execute your Python code at specific times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sake of this tutorial, I’ll create a Python program that prints “Hello World!” on screen and make it execute every day at 6 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello_World.py<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
import tkinter as tk \n\nroot= tk.Tk() \n \ncanvas1 = tk.Canvas(root, width = 300, height = 300)\ncanvas1.pack()\n\nlabel1 = tk.Label(root, text='Hello World!')\ncanvas1.create_window(150, 150, window=label1)\n\nroot.mainloop()<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Create Batch File to Execute the Python Script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Open Notepad, and create a new file. Then save this Notepad file with the \u201cbat\u201d extension. In my case, I’ll save it as Run_Python_Script.bat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Save<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Now provide the path of your Python .exe<\/strong> and  Hello_World.py<\/strong> file inside this new .bat<\/strong> file. In my case, the paths will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
