Python Asyncio in Django View

Question

I would like to make two POST requests from an API on a Django view at the same time.

This is how I would do it outside of django.

import asyncio
import speech_recognition as sr

async def main(language1, language2):
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    r = sr.Recognizer()
    with sr.AudioFile(path.join(os.getcwd(), "audio.wav")) as source:
        audio = r.record(source)
    def reco_ibm(lang):
        return(r.recognize_ibm(audio, key, secret language=lang, show_all=True))
    future1 = loop.run_in_executor(None, reco_ibm, str(language1))
    future2 = loop.run_in_executor(None, reco_ibm, str(language2))
    response1 = await future1
    response2 = await future2

loop = asyncio.get_even_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main("en-US", "es-ES"))

I'm confused about the event loop. How can I do this inside my Django view? Do I need to use nested functions for this?

def ibmaudio_ibm(request, language1, language2):
     #Asyncio code here

Edit: How is this even considered a duplicate? Parallel calls and schedulling with crontab are completely different things...

Answer 1

Solution was to nest the function inside another one.

def djangoview(request, language1, language2):
    async def main(language1, language2):
        loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        r = sr.Recognizer()
        with sr.AudioFile(path.join(os.getcwd(), "audio.wav")) as source:
            audio = r.record(source)
        def reco_ibm(lang):
            return(r.recognize_ibm(audio, key, secret language=lang, show_all=True))
        future1 = loop.run_in_executor(None, reco_ibm, str(language1))
        future2 = loop.run_in_executor(None, reco_ibm, str(language2))
        response1 = await future1
        response2 = await future2
    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
    asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main(language1, language2))
    loop.close()
    return(HttpResponse)
