event/job scheduling

[john peter]

i'd like to do the following kind of event/job scheduling:
  run some task(s) (python code) everyday at (say) 8am for (say) a week.
  
  i need to do this for both windows xp and suse linux machines. although i know
  that i can use cron or its equivalent in windows to kick off the python interpreter,
  i was kinda hoping python has a builtin mechanism i can use for both OSes.
  
  can python's scheduler class do the job? if so, can someone share some code
  snippets (it's not clear to me from reading the docs if python's scheduler class
  can do the job).
  
  if python's scheduler class cannot do the job, can someone recommend a  third-party software/library that can do the job?  thanks for any  help!
