[Answered ]-Using Django How Can I Automatically Update Information on a Template

Since you want to do regular asynch calls to your server while a page is already loaded, I would use AJAX to solve this problem.

I’d usually do something like this

def your_django_view(request):
    # magic 
    server_data = '98% left!' 
    response_data['data'] = server_data
    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(response_data), content_type="application/json")

Then in your view, use some jquery (or javascript..whatever) to deal with all of the data

$.ajax({type: 'POST',
         url: '/function_url/',
         data: {
           },
          success: function(response_data) {
              var server_mem = response_data['data']
             $('#disk_space').val(server_mem);
  })

Use this return statement at the end of your submit view:

return render_to_response('Checklist/stop.html',
    {'disk_space':disk_space},
    context_instance=RequestContext(request))

The second argument of render_to_response is a dictionary of {'key':value, 'key2':value2} you can use in the template.
