Need help with automating a python script on a Windows server
Experience level with scripting (1-10 scale): 1-2....still learning!!!


I've got a python script that calls on an API to gather information from a ticketing system. This script is used to track time worked on tickets. My boss is wanting that script to be run once a week. The script runs beautifully....but it's how it was set up that causes an issue with everything.

Right now we have to open a CMD window and type in:

Code:
python time_reports.py Insert JSON Web Token

This gives us all of the previous month. However, if we want a certain date range...we have to type in:

Code:
python time_reports.py Insert JSON Web Token 2017-07-01 2017-07-25

So, the higher ups are wanting that script to be run automatically, but I'm not sure how that's possible with dates always changing.

I was thinking of maybe using a batch file and then using Windows scheduler...but was hoping someone on here could help out with a better way.

NAME

       irunner - interactive runner interface

SYNOPSIS

       irunner [options] file_to_run

DESCRIPTION

       irunner	is  an	interface to the various interactive runners available in IPython's irunner module.  It can used to run scripts as if they
       where typed up interactively.

       The already implemented runners are listed below; adding one for a new program is a trivial task, see the source for examples.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       --ipython
	      IPython interactive runner (default).

       --python
	      Python interactive runner.

       --sage SAGE interactive runner.

EXAMPLE

       irunner.py --python -- --help will pass --help to the python runner.  Similarly, irunner.py --ipython -- --interact script.ipy
