Django Timed Events

Question

I want to schedule events to happen for my users. Is there an efficient way to do this in Python/Django easily? I'd prefer not to poll a priority queue.

Thanks!

Edit: I want to clarify that this job is run per user, for potentially hundreds or thousands of users.

Your OS has an "at" command which does exactly this. Why aren't you using that? — S.Lott, Mar 04 '10 at 11:06

You should probably look at: http://celeryproject.org/

From the website:

"Celery is already used in production to process millions of tasks a day."

How about django-cron?

Not quite what I want. I want an event to trigger after x amount of time has elapsed and preferably it should scale to thousands of users without locking up the machine. – SapphireSun Mar 04 '10 at 08:36
