While you can make this work, you generally do not want an entire Python interpreter sitting around in memory just copying bytes from a file to the web server. It's expensive, and a poor use of resources. I'd strongly encourage you to look at mod_xsendfile (if you are using Apache), or the equivalent functionality in lighttpd. You can maintain full control over who gets to see what videos, without having to tie up a Python/Django instance just doing I/O copies. -- -- Christophe Pettus x...@thebuild.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
