  Description: databased-backed work queue for Django

Django Background Task is a databased-backed work queue for Django,
loosely based around Ruby's DelayedJob library. This project was adopted
and adapted from lilspikey django-background-task.

To avoid conflicts on PyPI we renamed it to django-background-tasks
(plural). For an easy upgrade from django-background-task to
django-background-tasks, the internal module structure were left untouched.

In Django Background Task, all tasks are implemented as functions (or
any other callable).

There are two parts to using background tasks:

    creating the task functions and registering them with the scheduler
    setup a cron task (or long running process) to execute the tasks
