title: How to use python to schedule tasks in a Django application
body: <p>I'm new to Django and web frameworks in general. I have an app that is all set up and works perfectly fine on my localhost.</p>
  <p>The program uses Twitter's API to gather a bunch of tweets and displays them to the user. The only problem is I need my python program that gets the tweets to be run in the background every-so-often.</p>
  <p>This is where using the schedule module would make sense, but once I start the local server it never runs the schedule functions. I tried reading up on cronjobs and just can't seem to get it to work. How can I get Django to run a specific python file periodically?</p>
