title: Python cron job under windows7
body: <p>I have created a simple cron job under windows to run a very simple python scrape:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>scrape webpage</li>
  <li>store data into csv file</li>
  <li>close file </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Cron job under Windows worked fine-without any probs. All of sudden, that cron job stopped working, my output file is not getting updated. When I run the scrape manually (double click on python file or via python IDE) I would typically get my debug output "everything ok" in a windows dialog window and the target file gets updated. During the cron job I can see that debug output window popping up and printing the same "everything ok" debug, but the file is just not getting updated. </p>
  
  <p>I tried rebooting my machine, close/open all program. Created a new task in the scheduler, it still wouldn't work. Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
