Running Python in background on OS X

Question

Is there any way to keep my Python script (with an endless \'while\' loop) running in the background on OS X? Also, for the same purpose, is there any way to have \"autorun\

Answer 1

I tried launchctl and couldn't make it work in El Capitan and searched around little more and found this post

TL;DR

Use shebang line #!/usr/bin/env python or #!/path/to/python on your script

chmod +x test.py
nohup /path/to/test.py &
ps ax | grep test.py
