  • django-q

    A multiprocessing distributed task queue for Django

  • Other options are DjangoQ and Huey, which tend to work ok. Of the two I prefer DjangoQ. Database backed, don't require the Redis/Celery rigmarole.

  • huey

    a little task queue for python

  • django-rq

    A simple app that provides django integration for RQ (Redis Queue)

  • For simple stuff, I tend to use https://github.com/rq/django-rq. Although scheduling tasks there does not work well in my experience. If I need something to run by schedule, than better just plain cron.

  • django-rq-scheduler

    Discontinued Package migrated to https://github.com/dsoftwareinc/django-tasks-scheduler

  • I'm also using the Django RQ for async processing, but about the job scheduling I think the same. I added https://github.com/dsoftwareinc/django-rq-scheduler and it's working fine. If I remember correctly, there is a problem with a management command name conflict, but it's not a problem to fix that.
