oxylabs/python-script-service-guide
A guide on running a Python script as a service on Windows & Linux.
This guide helps developers who want to run their Python scripts continuously in the background on Windows or Linux servers. It provides clear instructions and code examples for setting up Python scripts that can scrape data from websites as always-on system services, meaning they automatically restart if there's an issue. It's for IT administrators, backend developers, or anyone responsible for deploying and managing custom Python applications.

Use this if you need to ensure a Python script runs reliably and autonomously without manual intervention, such as for continuous data collection, monitoring, or automation tasks.
Not ideal if your Python script only needs to run occasionally or as a one-off task, or if you are not comfortable with command-line operations and system configuration files.
