This module makes it easier to deploy Python workers by wrapping Flask and multiprocessing functionality into a single module. When instanced, your app will be serving http via Flask, as well as performing work.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-cfworker

1.7.0 - Fixed tab and spaces inconsistency for later versions of python

1.6.0 - Now using CF Diego 'PORT' environment for HTTP port binding

1.5.0 - Fixed simple worker to use CF port

1.4.1 - Removed auto-start from main class

1.4.0 - New implementation via multiprocessing.Process (added start, stop)

1.3.1 - Added new CF worker example for streaming twitter data

To get the latest version with new features, checkout the repository and run the setup script

sudo python setup.py install

To install a tested production version via pip:

pip install python-cfworker

To use within a CF app, check the examples folder

import cfworker

if __name__=='__main__':

	worker = cfworker.cfworker()

	worker.start()

	while True:
		print 'working...'

	worker.stop()

Note that by default the cfworker will run on Flask port 5000 unless otherwise specified:

cfworker.cfworker(port=<port>)
