Windows XP - cron or scheduler for Python?

[Roger Upole]

You can retrieve the startup error code using the Pywin32 package.
(requires build 201)

import pythoncom, win32api
from win32com.taskscheduler import taskscheduler
ts=pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(taskscheduler.CLSID_CTaskScheduler,None,

pythoncom.CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,taskscheduler.IID_ITaskScheduler)
task=ts.Activate('your task name')
exit_code,startup_error_code=task.GetExitCode()
print win32api.FormatMessage(startup_error_code)
