django code which runs event independent

Question

I am creating a web application in django and I want to create a backend app which runs continuously instead of running only when the "view" is called. How do I do this ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

This is a plugin, which will allow you to put some tasks for independent execution.

Also this question contains good solution for this question: Django - Set Up A Scheduled Job?

Have a look at Celery. It is a task queue that tightly integrates with Django.

You can also create a custom management command that contains a while True: ... sleep loop.

In any case, you should set DEBUG to false, otherwise Django will eat up your memory.

Django is not especially for this; that said, you can use django's facilities, and just write a programme that executes continuously.

Write a management command and daemonize it with supervisord.

By the way, technically django itself is running continuously and not only when view is called.

What are you trying to acheive?

Create a Compiler Judge backend that periodically checks for new solutions and compiles them. – Pankaj Bhambhani Mar 20 '12 at 14:20
