Hey All, Sorry If I don't have some of this terminology correct. Here's my problem. I have a django app, which I'm serving with Cherokee and FCGI. My django app manages a bunch of stuff, and has to make a couple calls to an external soap service, to record some customer data.
Unfortunately, I can't get the soap service working with Python. And the people who write the service only provide php as an "official" language. So what I'm doing is running PHP as a cli, reading parameters, kick of to soap etc. The problem I'm hitting is that in Python, when I send out the php call. It's blocking. So the request to the user on the site sits there and waits because the soap service is jank slow. So, what I'm trying to figure out is how to launch the PHP script from Python, but have it detach from the current process so it finishes by itself. The php script does all the work, I don't care about the exit code or any STDOUT data. I've tried a number of methods. subprocess.Popen, os.system, etc. When those don't work, I've even tried having python call a shell script, which does the actual PHP call for me so I can add on the & at the end to daemonize it. Bleh, I just can't figure out why this is not working. To give some context into things i've tried: #directly calling the php script cmd = "/usr/bin/php " cmd += settings.CODEIGNITER_CRON_SCRIPTS_PATH+settings.INSERT_VN cmd += " "+str(customer.id)+" "+ph+" "+fn+" "+ln+" "+amount+" &" os.system(cmd) #this is the shell script which takes the args, and adds &, in the call to the php script cmd = settings.CODEIGNITER_CRON_SCRIPTS_PATH+"insert_virtual_number.sh" cmd += " "+str(customer.id)+" "+ph+" "+fn+" "+ln+" "+amount os.system(cmd) #using Popen to call the php script pid=subprocess.Popen(["/usr/bin/php",settings.CODEIGNITER_CRON_SCRIPTS_PATH+settings.INSERT_VN,str(customer.id),ph,fn,ln,amount]).pid #using Popen to call the shell script version pid=subprocess.Popen(["/bin/bash",settings.CODEIGNITER_CRON_SCRIPTS_PATH+"insert_virtual_number.sh",str(customer.id),ph,fn,ln,amount]).pid Does anyone have any pointers, or tips in the right direction? I'm so close, arg! Thanks much. A --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
