websockets in django

[Rituparna Matkar]

Hi

I am trying to finish a phonegap app with django as a backend. I want to implement web sockets in this app. To give a use case, there are an array of buttons that all the users can see, if one user makes any changes to the button (enable/disables) the change should be visible to other users as well. The way I am coin it right now is after every 3 seconds I am sending a call to the server weather the status of the button has changed and if yes I refresh the page. I believe there could be a better solution to this.

Hi, i think you use tornado. It's a simple way.

+1 on tornado.  I may be behind the times, but I don't think that the Django architecture lends itself to persistent connections.  Also, Django is intended  to run behind another server, such as Apachi, nginx, etc., and that server, too, would need to be amenable to persistent connections.

This doesn't mean that you can't use Django as part of your solution, if other areas of the overall web site would benefit from it.  But you would want to direct your websockets connections to something that handles that well, such as tornado.

it seems that uwsgi supports websockets, has anyone experimented with that?

using uwsgi is a fairly common and recommended way to deploy django, it would be nice to also use it for the ws part of the application, maybe memory savings or performance so I am curious about it but didn't have a chance to try  it yet.
