Windows XP - cron or scheduler for Python?

[Eric @ Zomething]

I'm trying to have some scripts run periodically on Windows XP and found the "Task Scheduler" did not execute my scripts.  My scripts are of the form scriptName.py, and will run just by invoking that name in the Command Prompt.

Has anyone used the Windows Task Scheduler to run .py scripts, and if so is there some intracacy to it?

Is there a more UNIX version of a cron program one can run on Windows?

Has anyone written a simple cron program for Windows in Python, or does anyone see any complication with doing that (which I have not grasped)?

Do I just need to build myself an **IX box?
