I would personally look at something like http://www.celeryproject.org/.

You also need to think about what would happen in the following instances.

Someone else logs into the system and clicks run
Is there any output? How will you handle this?
User clicks refresh whilst waiting for the task to complete.
Will the task complete?

Use Javascript in your template to call the view once a button is clicked, and in your view, call the script. This question's very similar to this one.
