Run python script every 5 minutes under Windows

Question

I am having a simple python script scraping some data from html page and writing out results to a csv file. How can I automate the scraping, i.e. kick it off every five minutes under Windows.

Thanks Peter

Look into this link: http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/07/30/scheduling-a-scrip/

You'll need to change some settings in Windows Task Scheduler to run the script every five minutes, otherwise the above tutorial works nicely.
