It depends on what you're communicating with, and why. If your synchronous tasks are done "quickly" or must be "blocking" -- like doing some oAuth or hitting an external API that is guaranteed to return a request within a second or two, I would just use `requests` from within Pyramid.
If you're concerned with extended processing on your end, or not using systems that guarantee a response within a given amount of time... I would use Pyramid to trigger a Celery task, and then have the page reload every 5 seconds to poll the Celery backend for status. The reason for the latter usage pattern is that you will end up with a mix of browser timeouts / dropped connections AND tying up Pyramid workers while you wait on the upstream data. Blocking while waiting on `requests` to process the response will end up creating a bottleneck. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
