You could spawn another process or thread, reporting the progress somewhere. Then redirect to another page showing the progress (and auto-reloading itself each few seconds). When it detects that processing is complete, redirect to another page showing the final results. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
