huey - a little task queue
a lightweight alternative.
- written in python
- no deps outside the standard lib, except Redis (or you can roll your own backend)
- support for Django
supports:
- multi-threaded task execution
- scheduled execution at a given time
- periodic execution, like a crontab
- retrying tasks that fail
- task result storage
