Best answer

I can think of two basic approaches.

One, use crontab or some other similar functionality to call it exactly twice.
Two, use crontab or some other similar functionality to call it every minute, and add code to your script to execute exactly twice. Which are you preferring?

How to store a variable when a script is executing for next time execution in python?

I am running a python script and it will create a file name like filename0.0.0 and If I run it again then new file will create one more like filename0.0.1......
my code is-

i = 0
for i in range(1000):
 try:
 with open('filename%d.%d.%d.json'%(0,0,i,)): pass
 continue
 except IOError:
 dataFile = file('filename%d.%d.%d.json'%(0,0,i,), 'a+')
 break

But It will take more time after creating many files, So i want to store value of last var "i" in a variable so that when I run my script again then I can use it. for example-
my last created file is filename0.0.27 then it should store 27 in a variable and when i run again then new file should be created 0.0.28 according to last value "27", so that i could save time and it can create file fast..
