Im trying to make a progress bar by reading and writing a session variable:
There are 2 controllers:
Get session.progress
def getprogress():
print "getprogress:", session.progress
return session.progress
This one takes 5 seconds to perform and changes session.progress each one.
def progress():
# when a form is submitted, change progress each second
if request.post_vars:
for i in range(5):
session.progress = i
print "main:", session.progress
sleep(1)
return "done"
else:
session.progress = -1
return locals()
At the view, there are two ajax calls. One that triggers "getprogress" each
second, and another one that triggers "progress" when a random form is
submitted.
at the browser's console, getprogress only returns -1
at the python console i get a log like this:
getprogress: -1
getprogress: -1
main: 0
getprogress: -1
main: 1
getprogress: -1
main: 2
getprogress: -1
main: 3
getprogress: -1
main: 4
getprogress: -1
getprogress should be changing since im writing the session variable.
If im changing a session variable in a controller why hasnt changed when i
ask for it on another one?
Should i be using cron jobs or threads to make a progress bar?
Thank you very much.
