Python running program at a certain time

Question

I've built a crawler using Scrapy to crawl into a site and extract links. I want the crawler to run everyday at a certain time. I found out the python's sched to perform scheduling but i could not find out where to start from. Any help would be highly useful.

This is where you should look into the operating systems scheduler. On linux and alike you would typically use cronjobs:

On MS Windows you would typically use Windows Task Scheduler:
