I think what you are looking for is Celery (http://celeryproject.org/).
This handles asynchronous tasks in a clean and tidy manor meaning your
normal requests are free to return their responses while processing
continues. You can check the results of tasks later on in another request.

Hi,
I'm new to Django and need some help understanding how threading works
in Django. I have some data that I'd like to recompute periodically in
the background and have it shared between requests. If I start a
thread in one of the view functions (e.g. my_thread.start()), would
Django kill this thread at some point? What if I start the thread in
the main function before entering the server loop?
Does Django handle each request in a separate process with its own
interpreter instance?
Where can I find a good explanation of how thread management works in
Django?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
