I realize this is probably a pretty silly question, but I was
wondering if anyone can provide any insight.
I've been trying to use the multiprocessing [1] in a WSGI environment
and have observed what appears to be deadlock behavior under
mod_wsgi+django and
web.py. I created a minimal example web.py to demonstrate [2]. If you
have web.py available you should be able to run that script and then
point your browser at:
http://localhost:8080/
and then watch your browser hang when you visit:
http://locahost:8080/?multiprocessing=1
Going forward I'm most likely going to move this functionality to an
asynchronous queue (celery, etc) but I was wondering if
multiprocessing + WSGI was generally known to be something to avoid,
or if it was even forbidden somehow.
Any assistance you can provide would be welcome.
