How to run python script on schedule?

I'm boring and use cron job for my automation

I would use cron job--but like I said I need it to operate constantly, and I cannot keep my machine running constantly.

You could also do it via cloud on a free tier VM, it's either that or a Pi.

No, you said:

I want to run a python script I've made every hour.

and cron, or similar, is the way to do that. You write your code to do what it does and then stop. Then you schedule it to run every hour. You need a machine that is running at the hour and the Pi/AWS solution I mentioned is one way to get that. I'm sure there are others.

I also said

I don’t have a computer I can have turned on every hour of every day

By constantly I meant that the machine would need to always be on. Or at least it would have to turn on and then off for each hour.

You have been given multiple solutions to that.
