I find hard to believe that accounts are restricted to one request only at a time. I used the word "threads" because by default web2py executes every request (and db transaction) in a separate thread. Be sure that what you read on the forum is that pythonanywhere doesn't let you to open a new thread inside your code, that is all a different story. Anyway, if pythonanywhere really has the limitation of one request at a time, basically you can't get what you want, because you need at least two requests alive at the same time (the one that does the long processing and the one reporting progress) -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
