On some requests I need to run a long process (15+ mintues), but return immediately to the calling user.
For now, I've created a command line interface for heavy function, that runs the python script but doesn't wait. (In my case, I don't need the output.) Recently I saw that there was a background module that does that. I assume it doesn't have the overhead of starting a new process + new python session, etc, so it's better to use it. *Questions:* web2py website says it's been separated from the web2py package. why was it separated? is my assumption on process vs. thread - correct? i.e. subprocess vs. background.py usage. i saw that the code at some point was not stable. What's the state today, generally speaking? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
