You always need another Python task queue

I kid, diversity is the key to a healthy ecosystem. Huey is a simple offline Python task queue that has relatively few dependencies.

a lightweight alternative: written in python, no deps outside the standard lib except Redis (or you can roll your own backend), and support for Django.

Sometimes a little goes a long way. Checkout Huey if you need a lightweight Python task queue. If you need more features I would recommend RQ, or Celery.
