copied!<p>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 thread/processes (depending on configuration) for each request.</p> <p>What you need, is non-blocking web server, like <a href="http://www.tornadoweb.org/" rel="noreferrer">Tornado</a>, that allows splitting requests into two parts, of which the second one is fired on some event, but meanwhile server can accept subsequent inbound requests.</p> <p>Example from <a href="http://www.tornadoweb.org/documentation" rel="noreferrer">Tornado documentation</a> /<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" rel="noreferrer">license</a>/:</p> <pre><code>class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): @tornado.web.asynchronous def get(self): http = tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient() http.fetch("http://friendfeed-api.com/v2/feed/bret", callback=self.async_callback(self.on_response)) def on_response(self, response): if response.error: raise tornado.web.HTTPError(500) json = tornado.escape.json_decode(response.body) self.write("Fetched " + str(len(json["entries"])) + " entries " "from the FriendFeed API") self.finish() </code></pre> <p>-- as far as I know this is not possible under Apache - in which fetch is regular part of request handler, which of course block until it's complete - so what you end with is frozen thread or process.</p> <p>Another famous library for doing non-blocking services in Python is <a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/" rel="noreferrer">Twisted</a>, but I don't know much about it, only that it also is able to help you in handling a lot of connections with only one thread/process.</p>
