Starting a long process on the server from a WSGI application

Question

I need to start a long process (30 minutes) via http and get the status when it starts. A "process" is basically a Python script that updates a database. I have the following limitations:

• Only one process instance can work at a time.

• The WSGI application runs in several interpreters, so I cannot just make the isRunning global variable to track it.

• I need a web page to track the process (status / progress)

• No Django, just pure WSGI.

Does anyone have experience doing the same thing?
