I did something like this in perl using HTML::Mason. However I used 'system' to start the background process, and files for communication...
Its an on-demand backup system. The HTML::Mason code creates a temp file and then uses 'system' to run the backup job, passing the filename. The backup then noodles away for however long, sticking stuff in the temp file. Once its finished, it moves the tempfile to a log directory. Meanwhile an auto-refresh page is on the users' browser. It checks the presence of the temp file and shows the last ten lines if its there, or goes 'Hey, your backup is finished' if its gone. I dont see why you couldn't do this in Django - start a totally new process with os.system which can 'import django' and access the model. Then communicate with files... Perhaps :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
