There are a number of technologies out there for background asynchronous tasks in Python. They differ on attributes such as how the tasks are managed and administered; the run queues' sophistication (how many, how they're divvied up, whether they can be pinned to servers, etc.), whether the tasks can be distributed to multiple servers; etc.
The best-known is probably Celery (http://celeryproject.org). Many features. There are other tools, which are simpler and may be better suited for your task. Here's a shameless plug, I'm considering switching from Celery, so I made a list of the alternatives I was considering. My experiences and criteria are not yours, but, this blog post might be a good place from which to start your research: http://seeknuance.com/2012/08/14/alternatives-to-using-celery/.
