The easiest way is to write a custom management command, see
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands/

Django command extensions has 'runjob' and 'runjobs', one of which might
do want you want.  You can find the extensions at:

Take a look at this:
http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/sep/22/standalone-django-scripts/ which
explains a few different ways you can get everything setup to have a
standalone script use django.

Using the django orm outside a web system

[Juan Hernandez]

Hey there people:

I started developing a django application where a user takes a big text file
and loads it into a database. I have been able to do pretty much everything
but I've been having some problems on scheduling tasks involving the django
ORM.

I know that python manage.py shell loads the python prompt with the
necessary environment settings for me to work with the shell but, what if I
wanted to let's say, schedule a text file to be loaded every night using the
django orm along with all the other python features? how can I set a script
or what settings do I have so set in order to easily use the ORM
automatically for me to be able to work with those files over the web
interface later?? in other words, what settings are loded everytime I
execute python manage.py shell?

Thanks a lot
jhv
