Appreciate the reply. I did not know about django-background-tasks -
thanks. I've been trying to make use of that. I do not get the errors
I was getting before but it does not appear that my long running task
is running at all. Still debugging. But concerting asyncio - doesn't
run_until_complete block until long() completes?
