Django - Threading in views without hanging the server
But why you need thread? why can't you just do whatever you want to do in django view?
If you are using servers like apache with mod-wsgi you should be able to have good control over number of process and threads , so that part shouldn't be your worry or should not be in django views.
One of my applications in my Django project require each request/visitor to that instance to have their own thread. This might sound confusing, so I'll describe what I'm looking to accomplish in a case based scenario, with steps:

User visits application
Thread starts
Until the thread finishes, that user's server instance hangs
Once the thread completes, a response is delivered to the user
Other visitors to the site should not be affected by any other users using the application

How can I accomplish something like this? If possible, I'd like to find a lightweight solution.
