What are some examples of using Django Q for task scheduling?

Django Q is a task queue for Django that allows you to run background tasks. For example, you can schedule a task to send emails or process data.

Can you give me a specific code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django_q.tasks import schedule

schedule('myapp.tasks.my_task', schedule_type='I', minutes=5)

This schedules my_task to run every 5 minutes.

What if I want to run a task only once?

You can use the schedule_type='O' option to run a task only once. For example:

schedule('myapp.tasks.my_task', schedule_type='O', next_run='2023-10-01 12:00:00')

How can I check the status of scheduled tasks?

You can check the status of scheduled tasks by querying the Schedule model provided by Django Q. For example:

from django_q.models import Schedule
schedules = Schedule.objects.all()
