Running Python crons in a Django project

Django-cron lets you run Django/Python code on a recurring basis providing basic plumbing to track and execute tasks. The two most common ways in which most people go about this is either writing custom python scripts or a management command per cron (leads to too many management commands). Along with that some mechanism to track success, failure etc. is also usually necessary. This app solves both issues to a reasonable extent. This is by no means a replacement for queues like Celery etc.
