running app in backend
hey guys, im trying to run a script in the backend of my django project, i have used django signals to call my script and run it when foo class is saved, and in the foo class theres a variable that can be true or false, if its true it calls an infinte loop that runs a function every x seconds, but since this is an infinite loop, its keeping the django HTTPRequest active, so the page never finishes loading, is there a way to bipass this behavior ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: admin view
thanks for your reply, iv been reading the documentation, and wrote the code, but theres one thing im having trouble with, i included the signal connection in my models.py, and passed the model that was there to the handler function so that it can be tied to that specific model, like so class foo(models.Model): #model code here def handler(sender=foo, **kwargs): #code to be executed when model foo saved post_save.connect(handler) now, in the code to be executed i instantiate a class that imports the model foo, but django wont import it -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
