5"""Background tasks for the www_server module.
6
7This module has the logic for handling background tasks for the www frontend.
8Long term actions (like periodic tracing), cannot be served synchronously in the
9context of a /ajax/endpoint request (would timeout HTTP). Instead, for such long
10operations, an instance of |BackgroundTask| is created here and the server
11returns just its id. The client can later poll the status of the asynchronous
12task to check for its progress.
13
14From a technical viewpoint, each background task is just a python subprocess
15which communicates its progress updates through a Queue. The messages enqueued
16are tuples with the following format: (completion_ratio%, 'message string').
