I had need for scheduled events separate from any HTTP requests. I recommend you check out django-command-extensions aka django-extensions, http://code.google.com/p/django-command-extensions/

It has a jobs system that lets you do cron stuff from within the Django paradigm. It's not a perfect match for your needs because it doesn't natively provide a way to schedule a job for a given time period from now, but you could schedule something every 5 or 15 mins and give users that many minutes grace past their official two hours...

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
