How to schedule period tasks/crontab?

I am currently running a Python based application and would like to schedule some periodic tasks. I came across the following - https://blog.railway.app/p/cron-jobs This document makes reference to Typescript. I would like to know whether the following is possible. 1. Can I execute a period task where said task is developed in Python, i.e. python3 script.py ? 2. Is it possible to define the crontab through the UI or through another method which doesn't involve using Javascript/Typescript? i.e. JSON, Python, etc. Thanks.
