I think I would use a GAE task queue (it allows for longer run time and
does not take process power from actual page rendering).
The queue controller would generate the report and send a mail or change a
database value upon completion.
from google.appengine.api import taskqueue
def action():
…
taskqueue.add(url=URL(f='generate_report'),
params={'userid': row.id})
def generate_report():
userid = request.vars.userid
…
