====== Turn Your Python Script Into A Service ======

make sure you are running systemd, if not, apt-get install it:
<code>systemd --version</code>
if nothing:
<code>sudo apt-get install -y systemd</code>
test your python script, once you are confident it works properly, note its location

create your service with nano:

<code>sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/servicename.service </code>
edit in the contents:
<code>
[Unit]
Description=you script's description
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /full-path/location-to/your-script.py
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target</code>

note: the execstart line has a command to pass a space and a location, it is easy to wipe out this entire line when copy/pasting and forgetting to add the python3 part back

make it work, make it so your service starts after reboot, and finally start your service:

<code>
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable test.service
sudo systemctl start test.service</code>
