The following example should help you create a cronjob for your django application.  Please be careful to edit your code to match your own unique requirements.

1. Create a file with a descriptive name such as cron.sh in your project root that has the following code:
   

   export PYTHONPATH=/home/#####/data/python/lib:/home/#####/data/python/bin:/home/#####/containers/django:/home/#####/data/python/django:/home/#####/containers/django/[projectname]
   export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
   export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/home/#####/containers/django/[projectname]
   
   /usr/bin/python /home/#####/containers/django/[projectname]/pageview/cron.py > /home/#####/containers/django/[projectname]/cronlog

    
   
2. Create a cron.py script that will be called from the above file:

   from django.core.management import setup_environ
   from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
   import settings
   from pageview.models import *
   from photo.models import *
   import re, datetime, time, MySQLdb
   setup_environ(settings)
