Django websockets implementation

Question

I'm new to python and Django and i'm trying to implement websockets in Django.
What i do is i'm following the steps described in websockets documentation
The problem is that the server side command described has to be run in console. When i run it from console it works, but i want to run it inside the Django view asynchronously with a GET request. When i try it the server raises an exception something like this RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'Thread-2'.
To be more specific I want to use the technology to show a real time logs. For example an oracle procedure performs an insert and server pushes it to a page with websockets.
Am I on a wrong path for implementing the described or can anyone suggest a right/better solution?

I'm on django version 1.9 implemented on both Django's development server and Uwsgi and Nginx server, python version 3.5.2 on RedHatEnterpriseServer Release: 6.7

UPDATE
The exact code from the above URL and i put it in the view.

def ws(request):

    async def time(websocket, path):
        while True:
            now = datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat() + 'Z'
            await websocket.send(now)
            await asyncio.sleep(random.random() * 3)

    start_server = websockets.serve(time, '192.168.4.177', 9876)

    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(start_server)
    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_forever()

return render(request,"ws.html")

When the URL is handled by this view the above mentioned error occurs.

My ws.html is the exact copy from the above mentioned websockets documentation example

Answer 1

Django's request/response cycle is strictly synchronous. What you are trying to do is not possible in a normal Django view.

You might be interested in Django Channels, a project that aims to remove this limitation.
