No-one can state this for a fact because, even though many people (and this is where I remind everyone that it's often a good idea to search the archives before posting, especially for frequently-asked questions like this one) use Django with thread- as opposed to process-based server solutions without reporting thread-safety issues, it's simply impossible to state, unequivocally, that "everything you will ever do involving Django will be 100% thread safe". This should, incidentally, be fairly clear from the fact that Django offers you numerous ways to work with, e.g., mutable stateful objects, such that Django itself doesn't do anything unsafe with them, but you (and by implication, your code) quite easily can if you're not careful. In other words, the answer is "to the best of anyone's knowledge, Django does not have issues running in threaded servers, and if/when bugs are found which contradict that we fix them". But there isn't and never will be a categorical assurance that Django is provably 100% threadsafe or that there won't from time to time be a bug that needs to be fixed. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
