How do I have a python script run everyday at a set-time. Say exactly at 2:00 P.M. every day.

Is there a way to have it run exactly twice a day?

Not really sure where to start with this. Thanks for the help.

Don't reinvent and use functionality existing for decades on any system: cron

Apart from that: PyPI lists a bunch of cron-related or cron-similar packages:

In addition: Python provides a dedicated 'sched' module:
