Re: How to start and stopp threads in Django/Channels while using websockets

You can't do this from inside Django right now - the background workers were designed to solve this problem.

Hi ,

in my project, I want to use Django and Web sockets. The Solution is --> Channels.

But I have a problem. How can I start and stop an external long running thread from inside  Django.  I don't want to start an separate worker via console. I want to start it inside Django (Maybe in Consumer.py)

Concept:

1. The thread should be started, when a message is received via web socket. 

2. In the thread I stream data to the sender of the websocket message until I get a stop message via web socket from that sender.

How can I realize that? In Channels are Background Worker available. But I am not sure if it is the right mechanism for me?  Maybe Django is not the right tool for my problem?
