By saving it on the Pico as "main.py", it will run after every reset.
Using Thonny is the simplest way of uploading/editing/renaming files on
the Pico.

To set that up, see from page 17 in
https://hackspace.raspberrypi.com/books/micropython-pico (free pdf
download from there) although maddingly, the "main.py" fact isn't
mentioned anywhere in that book. It is on page 29 of the Python SDK doc:
https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/raspberry-pi-pico-python-sdk.pdf
