Comet support

[azer]

Hi,

I'm trying to use time.sleep and stdout.flush commands but it doesn't
work.Here is the code:

self.response.out.write('Hello')
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(3)
self.response.out.write(' world!')

When I run this code appengine waits 3 seconds and prints "hello
world!" but it should print "hello" before waiting.How can i solve
this problem?

Thanks,

App Engine does not support streaming responses, so you won't be able
to do this. Everything printed to stdout is buffered, then sent when
the handler returns. (This is true for App Engine in general, not
just webapp.)

  All of the output is buffered and sent at the end of the request.  It is not possible to have part of your text appear first and the rest later the way you are attempting.  If you need to have a dynamic page that updates over time, you might want to use simple Ajax.

Adding streaming support to AppEngine would be great.I think that it's
too important to web based applications.
