What you are looking for is readiness check. Basically readiness is a concept wherein something reports to be ready to handle requests (this something could be a web server, a docker container, a kubernetes pod, a database, etc.)
You can custom define an API endpoint that returns 200 OK when your Django server is ready to handle the requests, and internally make a request to that API endpoint and only execute your file once the endpoint returns 200 OK. Alternatively, there are third-party packages (a quick google search revealed django-probes <https://pypi.org/project/django-probes/>) that might assist you in implementing something similar. Logically, at a primitive level, your flow would be something along the lines of: - Define an API endpoint: - This should return a custom response WHILE it is YET to be ready to start taking requests - This should return a different custom response WHEN it is ready to start taking requests - Once you have the desired "ready" response, you go on invoking the file, until then you keep delaying it by adding a second's sleep or something. Sample code 1. import requests 2. 3. """ 4. api_endpoint is the custom endpoint that returns your desired 5. response based on whether or not Django Server is ready to take 6. on requests 7. """ 8. response = requests.get(api_endpoint) 9. 10. while response.status_code != 200: 11. time.sleep(1) # Sleep for 1 second 12. response = requests.get(api_endpoint) 13. 14. # Once this while loop breaks, this indicates we are good to proceed 15. 16. if response.status_code == 200: 17. # Do rest of your job here Pastebin link to above: https://pastebin.com/G3G41Xmb -- Regards Deep L Sukhwani ᐧ On Mon, 30 Sep 2019 at 16:12, Sampath Reddy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey All, > > Using DRF for developing backend api end points for the application, I > want to run a python module, only when we are sure Django server is up and > running As I am calling the api end in that module. > > So need to be sure Django server is up and running, before I can call the > same server API end point. > > Precisely What I am looking for is, how django loads files and starts > executing them when I run "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8084" from > command line.
