Answer 1

type man at, it will explain how to use it. Usage will slighty differ from system to system, so there's no use to tell you here exactly.

Answer 2

This works on my linux box:

echo python myscript | at 10:15

Edit: stupid quoting...

Answer 3

Just do

python FILE | at TIME > app.log

replace: FILE - Your .py file (include the shebang)

TIME - Your time
