Can I have a value automatically pushed onto a website (using AJAX = JQuery?), when something is done on the server side and python is ready to send it, rather than just in a response to a request by the website.
How do I make Jquery ready to accept this adhoc data?
Tutorial I’m learning from:
http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/jquery/#the-html
You can have jquery make the AJAX request and wait for a period of time while the server processes the response and returns it, you may risk the transaction timing out. This is optimal if the responses are quick to return.
Another method would be to have a timed script that polls the server for updates. The server will place the updates for a specific session in, for instance a database or in memory, and then return the results. This is optimal if it’s a long running process.
