I have a django app, and for a certain request I need to kick off a
long running task. I want to do this asynchronously and immediately
return a response. I tried using subprocess.Process() but the forked
process does not have a django database connection. I then tried
posting a request using ajax but that does not have a django session
so it's not authorized. Tried using asyncio but I am finding the
caller of the async function does not return until the async function
returns - maybe I am doing something wrong, as it does appear to be
actually asynchronous. I tried this test:
import asyncio
import time
async def long():
for i in range(100):
time.sleep(10)
asyncio.run(long())
print('after asyncio.run')
The final print does not come out until after long() completes.
Is there any way to do this?
