I've been tasked to write a module that sends data from Django to a Node.js
server running on the same machine. Some magic happens in node and I recv the
results back, which are then rendered using Django templates.
At first I thought to use the requests library to GET/POST data to node, but I
googled around and it seems lots of people think TCP sockets are the way to go.
I tried implementing my own using several examples I have found online. It
*kind of* works. It seems like I get blocked while trying to receive data back
in the recv() loop. I never reach the end. I'm not an expert in
sockets/networking, but maybe I'm not wrong in guessing it is because of the
non-blocking nature of Node.js ?
A Stackoverflow post helped a little more in figuring things out (though I'm
not sure if I'm correct here). Right now, I'm failing during connect() - I get
"Operation now in progress".
So my question is, how can I get recv() to work properly so that data is
seamlessly passed back and forth between my Python script and the node server.
Am I taking the right approach? Is there any better way?
