After much searching and googling I am coming back to the well. I have Django 1.4 and am looking for a decent working example to figure out getting Django to work with gevent. I like the Django framwork but I need it to handle long polling. I already have a working server using gevent on it's own that handles long polling requests as well as does image streaming via http at about 10 frames/second. I would like to use all the goodies in Django to provide a framework for this part. There are many examples out there, but unfortunately none of these seem to work out of the box! It would really

How do I use Django with the Tornado web server? Moayyad Yaghi it's very simple ( especially with django 1.4) . 1 - just build your django project( and apps ) and make sure it works fine. 2- create a new python file at the root folder ( same dir where you used django-admin.py startproject ) 3- then copy the code below , edit the os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] line, and paste it in that new .py file. import os import tornado.httpserver import tornado.ioloop import tornado.wsgi import sys import django.core.handlers.wsgi #sys.path.append('/home/lawgon/') # path to your project ( if you

I'd like to build a multiplayer web game application in which it supports chat. I presume the application will have to handle hundreds of simultaneous connections. I'm planning to host my application in a shared web hosting, which has these limitations (most likely similar to PHP + Comet (long-polling) scaling / hosts ): It does not seem I can change the web server. Most likely it's using Apache. Supports MySQL 5, PHP 5.3.x, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, CGI (To be more precise, I'll be using HawkHost's shared web hosting.) And here are my result of research, followed by my questions: Some

I have a Rails 3 app that uses delayed_job to fetch some data (with a class method) when the user hits the page. How can I indicate to the ajax process that the class method has run (so that I can stop polling)? EDIT: To clarify, I want to know when the delayed_job has run, not when the ajax process has succeeded. Then I want to pass the delayed_job completed status to the running ajax process. Typically, the best way to do this is to store, in your database, an indication of the job's progress. For instance: class User def perform_calculation begin self.update_attributes :calculation_status =

I once tried to implement Comet in PHP. Soon, I found that PHP is not suitable for Comet, since each HTTP request will occupy one process/thread. As a result, it doesn't scale well. I just installed mod_python in my XAMPP. I thought it would be easy to implement Comet with Python asynchronous programming. But still cannot get a clue how to implement it. Is there any idea how to implement Comet in mod_python? First of all, I'm not async expert at all, I just investigated the topic once. IMHO if you're using XAMPP then you're loosing the posibility of doing long polling because Apache uses

With the help of HttpWatch, I tried to figure out how GMail implements Comet. I login in to GMail with two accounts, one in IE and the other in Firefox. Chatting in GTalk in GMail with some magic words like "WASSUP". Then, I logoff both GMail accounts, filter any http content without "WASSUP" string. The result shows which HTTP request is the streaming channel. (Note: I have to logoff. Otherwise, never-ending HTTP would not show content in HttpWatch.) The result is interesting. The URL for stream channel is like: https://mail/channel/bind?VER=8&at=xn3j33vcvk39lkfq ..... There is no surprise
