Well, celery is a comprehensive solution for general background and periodic task processing in conjunction with django and works very well http://ask.github.com/celery/introduction.html May not be necessary to do what you want though - if you have a last activity timestamp in the session, you could consider just lazily showing "away" status when it's more than a certain amount in the past when it comes to display the status, rather than eagerly updating a flag with some scanner background task. (I think the idea is you want "away" status to show well before any true session timeout leading to logout, right?)
