scheduler for running python scripts

Question

I have a python script which installs a build from server to a node. Now I want to schedule the task to a specific time, so that it triggers automatically.

One way is the windows scheduler to trigger batch file which internally calls runs the python script.

Do python have built-in support for this. It should be OS independent, runs on both windows and linux platform.

Any ideas?

I've used this lightweight scheduler before to handle cron tasks -> https://github.com/mrhwick/schedule

I'd highly recommend it.
