Alternatives to celery

Hi folks,

I need a solution to create cron-like jobs into my django projects. I've a server with several projects.

I've testes celery, and it seems to work well with only 1 project, but when I need to set up several projects with celery support, I can't figure how to do it (because daemonization of celeryd process, described here http://celery.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cookbook/daemonizing.html#daemonizing only describes how to start workers for a single process because this directive CELERYD_CHDIR="/opt/Myproject/").

Well, my question is the following:

Is there any good tutorial about deploying django with celery on several projects, sharing celery support? if not, is there any alternative viable to celery for django?

I've found APScheduler, that seems to be a good scheduler for python, but integration with django seems a bit tricky. Is it a good alternative?

I will be pleased to read all your feedback about it.

Thanks in advance,

Isaac
