How does threading and processes work in Django

Hi,

I'm new to Django and need some help understanding how threading works in Django. I have some data that I'd like to recompute periodically in the background and have it shared between requests. If I start a thread in one of the view functions (e.g. my_thread.start()), would Django kill this thread at some point? What if I start the thread in the main function before entering the server loop?

Does Django handle each request in a separate process with its own interpreter instance?

Where can I find a good explanation of how thread management works in Django?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
