Django: running a few tasks in parallel
These tasks cannot be done asynchronous as the results produced needs to be shown to the user waiting

That doesn't mean you can't use an async queue (celery or other). We have a very similar use case and do use celery to run the tasks. The tasks (part parallel, part serial) store their progress in redis, and the frontend polls to get the current state and display progress to the user, then when the whole process is done (either successfuly or not) we display the result (or errors).
I have a web application build out of Django version 2.0.1
A user uploads a file, and based on the content, there are tasks which are executed in a serial fashion. After execution the results are shown to the user. Some of the tasks are independent of each other. 
I want to execute the independent tasks in parallel. I tried using multiprocessing within views.py but there are some errors thrown when the processes are spawned. These tasks analyse some information and write to a file. The files are then combined to show the results to the user.
These tasks cannot be done asynchronous as the results produced needs to be shown to the user waiting. So I have dropped the idea of using Celery as recommended in other discussions. 
Anyone's suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
