Something that runs all day in the background is a perfect candidate for being turned into a Service. That and servicemanager has a good way of managing the task so that it doesn't take up lots of excess CPU cycles that a "normal" application would take while sleeping or unnecessarily looping. Pick up a copy of Mark Hammond's Python Programming on Win32 book for example services in Python. You could then start/stop the service with service manager or with net start/ net stop commands.
