We prefer to use Celery to schedule periodic tasks [1] and are moving most of our cron jobs to Celery because it is easier to monitor, test, retry, and send reports on failed jobs.
We extended [2] django-celery db backend to store enough information about the periodic tasks to retry them directly in Django admin or to filter the results (we support storing the task results in JSON instead of pickle).
Celery is probably more difficult to configure but is far more flexible and robust than this lib...
