I think the quickest way is to run, as a user:

crontab -e
<a text file is presented, add the following line to it>
@reboot  nohup python /home/someuser/Wikipedia.activity/server.py .. &

where .. is the set of arguments you usually pass to server.py.

The best way involves creating an RPM package that installs a service
using rc.d/init.d.
