Trying to run jobs in the background using multiprocessing

Hi there!

I am trying to run jobs in the background using the following (minimal) code:

Under views.py:

def submit(request):

   model = MyModel()

   model.RunInAThread(ReferenceSeparator, MutationSeparator)

Under models.py:

class MyModel(models.Model):

   def RunInAThread(self, ReferenceSeparator, MutationSeparator):

           print 1

           Thread = multiprocessing.Process(target = self.Run, args=(self, ReferenceSeparator, MutationSeparator))

           print 2

           Thread.daemon = True

           print 3

           Thread.start()

           print 4

   def Run(self, ReferenceSeparator, MutationSeparator):

           print 5

But I get the error below and it only print 1, 2, 3 and 4, but not 5:

TypeError at /submit

'str' object is not callable

...

Exception Location: /sw/lib/python2.6/multiprocessing/forking.py in __init__, line 98

...

I have tried in many different ways (e.g. Daemon = False, without "self" as an "args"), but don't really understand why this would not work, unless Django doesn't permit multiprocessing (which some people seem to suggest online).

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Best wishes,

Pau
