Well, that's the web for you! Not really a problem with python, but more
with the way the web works. At least as far as I see it.

The solution is basically celery: http://celeryproject.org/

You off-load long running processes to celery's task queue and continue
with your form submission. Behind the scenes, celery will take care of
your task.
