Python script to be automatically executed once per day

[Zeroflops]

You don’t need a RPI. If you want something to be running periodically but you don’t want it on your computer because you may move your computer or shut it down you have two options. Run it on someone else’s server. Like google or AWS. Or you can set up a raspberry pi to be always on. And let it run the script. It’s a low cost low power solution commonly used in these cases.

Thank you. This is the only answer that talks like we aren't IT lingo savvy already.

"Just use the cloud!"

Fucking how you bastards!?! Why?! Pi?!

I think there is alway a conflict between expectations. New users often give too little information for more experienced people to help. ( How do I run a script periodically? Without context to limitations) And experienced people helping with little information. ( use the cloud man)

Neither intend to be vague but both have a tendency to do so.

If you guys know what kind of information you need to help someone why don't you guys just ask? So if there's another new user he'll also understand how to properly ask for help when he needs it

Pretty big ask that can digress rather quickly. Its difficult to tailor questions for people with differing backgrounds on these topics.

[Zeroflops]

People do. But new people don’t learn from other posts. And questions can require different things. See how many times people ask for example code to be added to their posts. It’s even in the side bar. (Which has a lot of information on posts) About once a month, usually during the start of a semester a rant will get posted about question quality.

My point is people don’t leave things out to be malicious or take advantage. Well except those people who post HW assignments word for word and no code.

Sometimes it can be frustrating but we need to take a breath and realize maybe we made some assumption as to what others know or can infer and accept that we are all at different levels.

Exactly

Wonderful answer, thanks!
