"celery" may seem overkill initially, but works very well for periodic tasks among other things. Once you have it working, it's straightforward to use for all manner of time-consuming stuff you might want to push into the background to keep your http responses timely. http://ask.github.com/celery/introduction.html#periodic-tasks (If you want to run a task manually, you can still wrap it in a management command, or just call it from within ./manage.py shell) At time of writing AFAIK if you want to use it with python 2.5, you have to beware of: http://github.com/ask/celery/issues/closed/#issue/24 - but otherwise it's simple enough to setup (there's a sample initscript in the source package for linux systems) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
