If you're on *nix, search for python and expect and you'll find 
something based apps -- I'm not sure what you do for GUIs. On windows, 
I'm sure there are ways of doing this with the win32 extensions, but I 
commonly use msched from www.mjtnet.com.  I create msched scripts from 
within python and use subprocess to invoke msched and execute the python 
generated script.

HTH,
