If the system ever gets rebooted during that month, then you would need to remember to manually restart the script. Or if the effective part of the script raises an exception, it could crash the whole script without some defensive coding. That's why it's better just to use the system scheduler service. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
