What are you asking? It's a process. Run it using any standard process management tools. Python on windows seems like an unusual choice, but I don't know you're environment.
More common is to run osqueryd as a service.
Less common is to shell out to osqueryi
Somethings (kolide launcher) manage osqueryd as subprocesses. As said, it's a process. Manage it however.

thanks @seph and @packetzero I was able to automate using OSQUERYD.exe -not shell.
