While running a python program I need to save some of the data that is
being created. I would like to save the data to a file on a disk
according to a periodical schedule (e.g. every 10 minutes). Initially,
the amount of data is small (< 1 MB) but after sometime the amount of
data can be >10MB. If a problem occurs during data creation, then the
user should be able to start over from the last successfully saved data.
For my particular application, no other file is being saved and the data
should always replace (not be appended to) the previous data saved. It
is important that the data be saved without any obvious distraction to
the user who is busy creating more data. That is, I would like to save
the data "in the background".
What is a good method to perform this task using Python 2.7.8 on a Win32
platform?
