I am running a Python script that uses the requests library to get data from a service.
The script takes a while to finish and I am currently running it locally on my Windows 7 laptop. If I lock my screen and leave, will the script continue to run (for ~3 hours) without Windows disconnecting from the internet or halting any processes? The power settings are already set up to keep the laptop from sleeping.
If it will eventually halt anything, how do I keep this from happening? Thanks.
As long as the computer doesn't get put to sleep, your process should continue to run.
Keep Python script running after screen lock (Win. 7)
