event/job scheduling

[Tim Golden]

| i'd like to do the following kind of event/job scheduling:
| run some task(s) (python code) everyday at (say) 8am for (say) a week.
| 
| i need to do this for both windows xp and suse linux 
| machines. although i know
| that i can use cron or its equivalent in windows to kick off 
| the python interpreter,
| i was kinda hoping python has a builtin mechanism i can use 
| for both OSes.
| 
| can python's scheduler class do the job? if so, can someone 
| share some code
| snippets (it's not clear to me from reading the docs if 
| python's scheduler class
| can do the job).
| 
| if python's scheduler class cannot do the job, can someone 
| recommend a third-party software/library that can do the job? 
|  thanks for any help!

This was a Google-guess:

I seem to remember that Irmen de Jong (of
Pyro fame) had something similar, Kronos? 
but I can't seem to find it now.
