What would be the advantage to writing a python management script that
works through http? My plan was to write a python management script and add
it as a cron job (about one minute for the processing of uploaded crashes
and once a day for the crash count).

The advantage that I currently see for an independent script is that I can
call it from wherever I am. Not only if I'm logged-in. What would be the
benefit of the other solutions?
