Nick,
I'm new to Django so if I'm wrong here, I hope that somebody will
correct me.....

Yes, but you can pass a `iterable` object as the content.
So, I would write a generator-function and pass this as the content to
the Response object:
def lazy_content (obj = ....) :
for line in obj.... :
yield line
# end def lazy_content
And during the creation of the Response object you should `call` this
generator funtion:
return http.HttpResponse (lazy_content (my_obj))
In thus case, the generator `exetuted` after the headers have been send
and all the lines you yield will be directly send to stdout. Maybe you
have to flush stdout to be really unbuffered...
I hope this helps (sorry for my bad english, ....)
