Re: Building a web app for use of third party python package

I am not aware of such a way; I think HttpResponse does a single thing.  But you could create a page which embeds a link to the results file and redirect the user to that (I often find that  having an "outcomes" page with some explanation is attached is helpful to the user).  Like many similar sites (e.g. there is one that creates an MP3 from a YouTube Video), the link is only active for a while; you can run a cron job, or similar, in the background to remove the file after a while.

Thanks, I managed to put together something that uploads input, processes the data and downloads the results. I bumped into a problem though: I would like to redirect the user AND download the file. Is that possible somehow? (I apologize if this is a trivial question,  I am new to django and fairly new to programming too) Can I concatenate HttpResponse objects somehow? I tried, but it errors out.
