Yes, you can run/end a python script via another python script that shouldn't be closed throughout the process. – Red May 21 '20 at 17:13

TLDR ; use cron in linux- make your python script executable then config your cron to run how ever you want.
In windows you can use a scheduled task.
Abit of explanation about cron- It's basically a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems.
Follow the link below for full explanation on how to run python scripts with crons.

Alternatively if the heroku is running all the time you can use
BackgroundScheduler() from APScheduler
