    <p>I am developing a django webserver on which another machine (with a known IP) can upload a spreadsheet to my webserver. <strong>After</strong> the spreadsheet has been updated, I want to trigger some processing/validation/analysis on the spreadsheet (which can take >5 minutes --- too long for the other server to reasonably wait for a response) and then send the other machine (with a known IP) a HttpResponse indicating that the data processing is finished.</p> <p>I realize that you can't do <code>processing.data()</code> after returning an <code>HttpResponse</code>, but functionally I want code that looks something like this:</p> <pre><code># processing.py def spreadsheet(*args, **kwargs): print "[robot voice] processing spreadsheet........." views.finished_processing_spreadsheet() # views.py def upload_spreadsheet(request): print "save the spreadsheet somewhere" return HttpResponse("started processing spreadsheet") processing.data() def finished_processing_spreadsheet(): print "send good news to other server (with known IP)" </code></pre> <p>I know how to write each function individually, but how can I effectively call <code>processing.data()</code> <strong>after</strong> <code>views.upload_spreadsheet</code> has returned a response?</p> <p>I tried using <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/signals/#django.core.signals.request_finished">django's <code>request_finished</code> signaling framework</a> but this does not trigger the <code>processing.spreadsheet()</code> method after returning the <code>HttpResponse</code>. I tried using a decorator on <code>views.upload_spreadsheet</code> with the same problem. </p> <p>I have an inkling that this might have something to do with writing <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/middleware">middleware</a> or possibly a <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/class-based-views/">custom class-based view</a>, neither of which I have any experience with so I thought I would pose the question to the universe in search of some help.</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
