running a python script on a remote computer

I have a python script and am wondering is there any way that I can ensure that the script run's continuously on开发者_如何学编程 a remote computer? Like for example, if the script crashes for whatever reason, is there a way to start it up automatically instead of having to remote desktop. Are there any other factors I have to be aware of? The script will be running on a window's machine.

Many ways - In the case of windows, even a simple looping batch file would probably do - just have it start the script in a loop (whenever it crashes it would return to the shell and be restarted).

Maybe you can use XMLRPC to call functions and pass data. Some time ago I did something like that you ask by using the SimpleXMLRPCServer and xmlrpc.client. You have examples of simple configurations in the docs.

Depends on what you mean by "crash". If it's just exceptions and stuff, you can catch everything and restart your process within itself. If it's more, then one possibility though is to run it as a daemon spawned from a separate python process that acts as a supervisor. I'd recommend supervisord but that's UNIX only. You can clone a subset of the functionality though.
