Can WSGI middleware run code after a response is returned?

Question

I understand that WSGI Middleware's purpose is to extend functionality between a request and a response.

But can some of this code be run after the response is returned?

I need to store a request/response log in an external database, and wouldn't want this to slow the response times down.

Thanks! :)

Did you consider spawning a new thread or using a queue manager?

This way you can return the view and process the data in the background.
