Django Enhancement Proposal 14: Background Workers. Jake Howard's DEP has been approved and is moving into the implementation stage.
Django doesn't have a first-party solution for long-running tasks, however the ecosystem is filled with incredibly popular frameworks, all of which interact with Django in slightly different ways.
