title: Display Data In Real Time With Django
body: <p>I have a simulator application that continuously spits out data, formatted in JSON, to a given host name and port number (UDP). I would like to be able to point the simulator output to a Django web application so that I can monitor/process the data as it comes in.</p>
  
  <p>How do I receive and process data in real time using Django? What tools or packages are available to accomplish this? I did come across this answer: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3768019/how-to-serve-data-from-udp-stream-over-http-in-python">How to serve data from UDP stream over HTTP in Python?</a>, but I don't completely understand. </p>
  
  <p>Ex: Similar to this page: <a href="http://money.cnn.com/data/markets/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://money.cnn.com/data/markets/</a></p>
  
  <p>ALSO, I don't need to store any of the streaming data in a database. I just need to perform lookups based on the streaming data. Maybe it's not a Django issue at all?</p>
