在webserver之外运行python脚本

Question

My django app is running on an nginx/uwsgi stack. My goal is to start a python script which runs independently from the web server. By hitting a endpoint on django, it would thus fire off a non blocking script.

I've looked into using python subprocess/Popen - i'm just not sure if the script is still running on the web server or not via subprocess.Popen()

Answer 1

This is exactly what Celery is for. You should use that.
