Thanks everyone for the replies. Anyways I looked at the kronos scheduler (pointed out by Canen above) being used in Turbogears and what I wanted is more like this.
So currently the way I'm using this is to put kronos.py into the django utils directory and then importing it from there. In a particular view, I start a threaded scheduler if it hasn't been started yet and I assign the repetitive task to it. This way the view's response is instantaneous even the first time because the task will be running in a separate thread. This seems to work for me! Anyways I think it will be useful if Django has a scheduler like this one included by default like TurboGears (actually it does not seem to require much effort; just have to reuse the code in kronos.py).
