If you are on a *NIX platform (linux, freebsd, os x etc) the easiest way to schedule a task is using cron, and writing a python script that can be run from cron is trivial, even if you need to use django in this script.
Just put the script in your project root, and follow these instructions: http://superjared.com/entry/django-and-crontab-best-friends/ There's plenty of documentation on how cron works, so that part you'll have to figure out yourself (and it's really good to know) :-) Oscar On Sun, Jul 13, 2008 at 5:56 PM, Adam Fast <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm not sure about admin integration but there are two apps out there > that handle task scheduling. > > http://code.google.com/p/django-cron/ > > http://code.google.com/p/django-jits/ > > On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 9:53 AM, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm a newbie to Django, and I'm trying to find the best way to create > > a recurring scheduled task.
