#30451: Add ASGI support to Django -----------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: Andrew Godwin | Owner: Andrew Godwin Type: New feature | Status: assigned Component: HTTP handling | Version: master Severity: Normal | Keywords: asgi Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 1 Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 0 UI/UX: 0 | -----------------------------------------+------------------------------- The ASGI specification (http://asgi.readthedocs.io) is now stable and Django should add support for it in addition to WSGI. This doesn't require too many deep changes, unlike a proposed "async-ification" of Django to allow async views and similar, which will require a DEP.
This will allow both seamless hosting of Django on ASGI servers, and will also significantly improve performance for sites that have slow file uploads as a blocking operation, as this will run asynchronously rather than holding open a thread. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30451> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
