Celery

Celery is a distributed task queue framework for Django.

It is used for executing tasks asynchronously, routed to one or more worker servers, running concurrently using multiprocessing.

It is designed to solve certain problems related to running websites demanding high-availability and performance.

It is perfect for filling caches, posting updates to twitter, mass downloading data like syndication feeds or web scraping. Use-cases are plentiful. Implementing these features asynchronously using celery is easy and fun, and the performance improvements can make it more than worthwhile.
