What about web2py is better? I was commenting on a way to serve really
large files using the performance benefits of something like Apache or
Nginx (for static files) while still being able to use authentication
or dynamic generation of the file in Python. Your example just show
how to send an infinite stream of data to the client. This isn't hard
to do in Django either.

# in your views.py or somewhere else


class Jammer(object):
  def __iter__(self):
    while True:
      yield 'x'

def jam(request):
  return HttpResponse(Jammer())

#in your urlconf you can put something like
('(php|PHP|asp|ASP|jsp|JSP)/$', jam),
