No program (python or other) can just arbitrarily execute. A user has to 
click it or a cron-like utility (Task Scheduler) has to execute it at a 
set time. registry entries (such as run) can execute programs too. Also, 
proper Windows services can be configured to start at boot.

Again, nothing can just arbitrarily execute. If it could, viruses would 
be a *nightmare*
