There is a low-level method tucked into the scheduler for scheduling one off tasks - though you'll have to dig into the code to find it:
http://trac.turbogears.org/browser/tags/1.0.4b3/turbogears/scheduler.py Basically you'll do something like: turbogears.scheduler._get_scheduler().schedule_task(task,delay) Though of course then you'll be using a non-public part of the API...
