Hi again, What I would do is create a django management command (see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/custom-management-commands/) and then use cron to call it a regular intervals (5-10 minute intervals for example).
Another way to do it would be to use celery, which is a delayed job worker and also a cron scheduler (see http://www.celeryproject.org/). Celery has a lot of other functions so if you need to use delayed jobs or need to use jobs that will be fired at intervals, I would recommend using celery, however there is a lot more to configure using celery.
