maybe your webserver won't permit multiprocessing, it depends on how you are running django.
In any case I would also recommend celery, in this case you have control on how many workers are running, having a webrequest open yet another process means you won't have control on how many processes are running, easily taking your server down. with celery you just add a task to the queue, and you can have that on a different server if you would like success avraham On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 10:11 PM, Timothy W.
