time scheduling in ptyhon

[jiri.juranek at kctdata.cz]

Hello,
i am learning python so this will be propably a stupid
question/problem, so sorry ;)

I need schedule some jobs, times of this jobs are read from database.
So i would like to periodically(every hour) run some python script(or
leave runnig some script which will every hour start some method) which
will read times for jobs from database and schedule that jobs. I am
looking for the simplest solution,  i have some ideas but i dont know
how they are difficult and if they are possible in python.
Thanks for all notes/advice/samples/links/modules....
