I'm looking for some advice on how to proceed with a TurboGear application I'm building. Specifically, I want to query a pop mailbox periodically, fetch messages and parse them, then (eventually?) put them in an Sqlite database where the TurboGears app can fetch them and display them in the web app.
My app is working to the point where it displays the contents of the parsed messages that are in the database. However, I manually put that data in the database. What I need is for my python process to start up when I start my TurboGears application, and continue to run the entire time that my web app is running. What is the best way to design this? Are there likely to be database contention issues if a background process is trying to write to the database while the web app is also trying to read data from the database? Would I be better off having my background process put its parsed messages into a temporary file, then have the web app read that file when it needs the data, put the data into the database at that time, then query the database? 'Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears' doesn't really get into this kind of issue. thanks Stewart --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
