I want to run a python script for several days, performing a huge database calculation, on a "public" windows computer in my work place. Since this task is important, I want to prevent closing it from the task manager. Is it possible to protect a python script from being closed by the task manager (windows xp)? If it is, how?

Hopefully you aren't giving "public" general users administrative privileges. Don't give the public account permission to close your script. Then you just run your script from a different user account than the account the general public can use.
