We're in a similar situation where we have an intranet app that needs to fire off an external app, collect some information and deliver the info back to the user. Does anyone have any simple pointers for how to start this as a separate process but retain some communication with pylons? For example, having a page update based on the status of the requested action etc? Can you repeatedly call a controller somehow [so it can check how things are going and update the page accordingly]. Any help appreciated. Jules --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
