Here's a few snippets from my code that demonstrates using TaskKit.

# __init__.py in your context directory.
from BillingTask import BillingTask
import os, time
def contextInitialize(application,path):
	tm = application.taskManager()
	print "Adding BillingTask to taskManager."
	task = BillingTask()
	#tm.addPeriodicAction(time.time(),3600,task,"BillingTask")
	tm.addDailyAction(4,0,task,"BillingTask"):

# BillingTask.py in your context directory.
from TaskKit.Task import Task
from SitePage import SitePage
class BillingTask(SitePage,Task):
	def writeContent(self):
		self.write("HELLO WORLD")

	def run(self):
		print "BillingTask.run()"
		#self.billServiceInstances()
