A lot of people use Django with uWSGI, which also comes with queues, cron, workers, cache and lots more. I've been stuck with Celery on previous projects for reasons. But I've been dying to try out uWSGI's built in features for this. Hearing great things about it.
Fellow uWSGI fan here. Unfortunately uWSGI is now in maintenance mode, not because is complete which would've been fine, but because the maintainers are not able to dedicate time to it[0]
