Re: Need Help With integrating Python Scripts with Django Frame Work
I'm not sure how many users you have for this, but it's best practice to use an asynchronous task queue (like Celery) to run the actual powerpoint creation code. If you simply run the script inside the view it will block the response from happening. You create a celery task (which in your case would have the powerpoint code), and the view will add the task to the queue. Celery requires a message broker, like RabbitMQ or Redis in order to use it. They are both simple to setup and work well. The docs are pretty good too. On Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 4:06 PM, Matthew Pava wrote: > Add a new view that returns the files.

RE: Need Help With integrating Python Scripts with Django Frame Work
Add a new view that returns the files. Connect the “Download” button to the URL to that view. Your view should return an HttpResponse object. For instance, I use this for the user to download PDF versions of forms: response = HttpResponse(pdf_contents, content_type='application/pdf') response['Content-Disposition'] = "%sfilename=%s" % ('attachment; ' if download else '', filename) return response For pptx, your content_type would be: '.pptx': 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation', From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Balu Nanduri Sent: Monday, April 16, 2018 2:48 PM To: Django users Subject: Need Help With integrating Python Scripts with Django Frame Work Hi, I am working on a project where I have to communicate with Tableau server and generate pptx with the images downloaded.
