According to the performance tip from Yahoo:
When users request a page, it can take
anywhere from 200 to 500ms for the
backend server to stitch together the
HTML page. During this time, the
browser is idle as it waits for the
data to arrive. In PHP you have the
function flush(). It allows you to
send your partially ready HTML
response to the browser so that the
browser can start fetching components
while your backend is busy with the
rest of the HTML page.Example:
... <!-- css, js -->
</head>
<?php flush(); ?>
<body>
... <!-- content -->
Is there a function in Django/Python that;s simialr to PHP’s flush()?
Thanks
No. Is the short answer.
The long answer depends what you’re using between the webserver and python:
You could implement it with WSGI but it wouldn’t be a whimsical task.
Maybe start here?
