Hi Howard, You will want to look into Celery <http://celeryproject.org/>, which lets you do heavy processing outside of your web requests. You can then use some checking via Javascript to see if the work is done yet and load a new page, or ask the user to come back later. There's a celery "app" for django that makes certain tasks a little easier. Sorry I can't provide more details than pointing you there right now, but I hope that helps. Someone on this list may have some better options for you that involve less setup, but Celery is the first thing that came to mind for me.
Also, just as an FYI, your links won't work because they point to your local development server and can't be accessed by anyone else. -Nick On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 8:49 AM, Julio Molina Soler <jmolin...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Howard, > > I'm not very experience with django yet, but if you are not very familiar > with Ajax I recommend to have a look on jQuery, I also have no experience > with Ajax, that's why I work with it, I find it more friendly, and get the > things nicely done (mostly popup menus and so on).
