This little tutorial is what you need to add a background task processor to Django using channels. Our task for this example will just be outputting "Hello, Channels!", but you could image running a subprocess on some data or sending an email.

The main idea behind benchmarking or profiling is to figure out how fast your code executes and where the bottlenecks are. The main reason to do this sort of thing is for optimization. You will run into situations where you need your code to run faster because your business needs have changed. When this happens, you will need to figure out what parts of your code are slowing it down. This article will cover how to profile your code.

One of the important realizations we made was that Python objects also have metadata. So, we can represent the XML data as normal Python objects, but store the XML metadata as metadata in the resulting Python objects. Using jxmlease, you can easily convert XML data to Python data structures. Here, the 'xml' variable contains the XML document shown in Example 2 (below). You convert it to Python data objects and print it.

At a ChiPy event, Nick Bennett gave an excellent talk on traffic fatalities and how he attempts to visualize the publicly available data. The accompanying GitHub repo shows how he accessed and manipulated some of that data with Python tools and then used a couple of different web mapping services to visualize it. The talk prompted some informative comments from the audience and inspired me to further analyze the data myself.
