I scheduled the task using the command:

schtasks /Create /SC HOURLY /TN PythonTask /TR "PATH_TO_PYTHON_EXE PATH_TO_PYTHON_SCRIPT"

and the script doesn’t open a database on the same folder to which Glen wrote the answer for it at Schedule Python Script – Windows 7

    I think it is better to wrap calling Python script into batch .bat file. In that file you can change directory, set PYTHONPATH etc

    Such batch is then executed via:

    schtasks /Create /SC HOURLY /TN PythonTask /TR "my_scheduled_task.bat"

    In my_scheduled_task.bat you can call your Python script in any directory you want.

    Such batch can be like:

    c:
cd \my\dest\dir
c:\python32\python.exe c:\my\superscripts\dbsynchronizator.py
