Question

Lets say I have a view page(request) which loads page.html.

Now after successfully loading page.html, I want to automatically run a python script behind the scene 10 – 15 sec after the page.html loaded. How it is possible?

Also, is it possible to show the status of the script dynamically (running/ stopped/ Syntax Error..etc)

Answer 1

Runing a script from the javascript is not a clean way to do it, because the user can close the browser, disable js … etc. instead you can use django-celery, it let you run backgroud scripts and you can check to status of the script dynamically from a middleware. Good luck
