If you can code the logic necessary to extract the information needed on a regular basis, then you can absolutely automate the task. Simple, recurring cases can be handled by cron on *nix, and task scheduler on Windows. The scripts are generally written as custom Django-admin commands, since you usually need access to the ORM and your models for most tasks: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/custom-management-commands/ More complicated tasks may require extra infrastructure like Celery. It provides more flexibility, but is also more complicated to setup and manage: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/django/first-steps-with-django.html Start with cron, and work your way up to Celery. -James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
