If you need to run tasks outside the request/response cycle, then you should be using celery.
http://celeryproject.org/ Celery includes something called periodic tasks. http://ask.github.com/celery/userguide/periodic-tasks.html You just need to make a task that updates the value in cache, and then set it to run with a schedule=timedelta(minutes=3) (or schedule=60*3).
