Hi All,

Very new to this, and I have no idea where to start.

I want to schedule a python script using Task Scheduler in Windows 7. When I add a "New Action", I place the following command as the script/program :

c:\python25\python.exe

As the argument, I add the full path to the location of my python script

path\script.py

Here is my script:

import datetime
import csv
import os

now = datetime.datetime.now()
print str(now)

os.chdir('C:/Users/Brock/Desktop/')
print os.getcwd()

writer = csv.writer(open("test task.csv", "wb"))
row = ('This is a test', str(now))
writer.writerow(row)

I got an error saying the script could not run. Any help you can provide to get me up and running will be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Brock
