Django-每x秒运行一个函数

Question

我正在开发Django应用。我有一个API端点，如果需要，它必须执行必须重复几次的功能（直到满足特定条件为止）。我现在如何处理-

def shut_down(request):
  # Do some stuff
  while True:
    result = some_fn()
    if result:
      break
    time.sleep(2)

  return True

虽然我知道这是一种可怕的方法，并且我不应该阻塞2秒钟，但是我不知道该如何解决。
等待4秒后，此方法起作用。但是我想要使循环在后台运行并在some_fn返回True时停止的东西。（此外，可以肯定some_fn将返回True）

编辑-
阅读Oz123的响应给了我一个似乎可行的想法。这是我所做的-

def shut_down(params):
    # Do some stuff
    # Offload the blocking job to a new thread

    t = threading.Thread(target=some_fn, args=(id, ), kwargs={})
    t.setDaemon(True)
    t.start()

    return True

def some_fn(id):
    while True:
        # Do the job, get result in res
        # If the job is done, return. Or sleep the thread for 2 seconds before trying again.

        if res:
            return
        else:
            time.sleep(2)

这为我完成了工作。很简单，但我不知道与Django结合使用多线程的效率如何。
如果有人能指出这一点的缺陷，请多多指教。

对于许多小型项目来说，芹菜实在是太过分了。对于那些项目，您可以使用schedule，它非常易于使用。

使用此库，您可以使任何函数定期执行任务：

import schedule
import time

def job():
    print("I'm working...")

schedule.every(10).minutes.do(job)
schedule.every().hour.do(job)
schedule.every().day.at("10:30").do(job)
schedule.every().monday.do(job)
schedule.every().wednesday.at("13:15").do(job)

while True:
    schedule.run_pending()
    time.sleep(1)

该示例以阻塞方式运行，但是如果您查看FAQ，您会发现您还可以在并行线程中运行任务，以使您不会阻塞，并且一旦不再需要就删除该任务：

from schedule import Scheduler

def run_continuously(self, interval=1):
    """Continuously run, while executing pending jobs at each elapsed
    time interval.
    @return cease_continuous_run: threading.Event which can be set to
    cease continuous run.
    Please note that it is *intended behavior that run_continuously()
    does not run missed jobs*. For example, if you've registered a job
    that should run every minute and you set a continuous run interval
    of one hour then your job won't be run 60 times at each interval but
    only once.
    """

    cease_continuous_run = threading.Event()

    class ScheduleThread(threading.Thread):

        @classmethod
        def run(cls):
            while not cease_continuous_run.is_set():
                self.run_pending()
                time.sleep(interval)

    continuous_thread = ScheduleThread()
    continuous_thread.setDaemon(True)
    continuous_thread.start()
    return cease_continuous_run


Scheduler.run_continuously = run_continuously

这是在类方法中使用的示例：

    def foo(self):
        ...
        if some_condition():
           return schedule.CancelJob  # a job can dequeue it

    # can be put in __enter__ or __init__
    self._job_stop = self.scheduler.run_continuously()

    logger.debug("doing foo"...)
    self.foo() # call foo
    self.scheduler.every(5).seconds.do(
        self.foo) # schedule foo for running every 5 seconds

    ...
    # later on foo is not needed any more:
    self._job_stop.set()

    ...

    def __exit__(self, exec_type, exc_value, traceback):
        # if the jobs are not stop, you can stop them
        self._job_stop.set()
