Django - flush response?

Question

I am sending an AJAX request to a Django view that can potentially take a lot of time. It goes through some well-defined steps, however, so I would like to print status indi

I'm not sure you need to use the flush() function.

Your AJAX request should just go to a django view.

If your steps can be broken down, keep it simple and create a view for each step. That way one one process completes you can update the user and start the next request via AJAX.

views.py

def do_something(request):
    # stuff here
    return HttpResponse()

def do_something_else(request):
    # more stuff
    return HttpResponse()
