django_cron stops working if date will be (temporary, by error, etc) in future.

Write cron business logic as a Python class and let this app do the rest! It enables Django projects to schedule cron tasks, tracks their success / failures, manages contention (via a cache) etc. Basically takes care of all the boring work for you :-)

Consider the case:

the server date was set temporary in future (by error, or for testing, …).
django cron job executed once
then server date returns to normal (sync by ntpdate etc)

Then, accorging to CronJobManager.should_run_now … last_job = CronJobLog.objects.filter(code=cron_job.code).latest('start_time') … if get_current_time() > last_job.start_time + timedelta(minutes=cron_job.schedule.retry_after_failure_mins): …

Django_cron stop working until this future is back.

IMHO, when determining last_job, django_cron should filter/ignore jobs with future dates.
