I've always done this kind of stuff with cron - that's certainly the gold standard for this kind of problem on Linux/Unix and something that's well supported by Django (since Python scripts can import and use Django models). Hopefully someone who has actually solved this will chip in, but from scanning around the web it seems that the equivalent in the Windows world is "Scheduled Tasks".
