Django's built-in django.views.generic.TemplateView is a powerful tool.

This method allows you to randomly change the initial position when displaying a large carousel in the hero area using Bootstrap.

Up until now, I had been writing custom thread pools using threading.Thread, but I thought there must be something provided by Python already. So, I did some searching and found that multiprosessing.pool.Pool was exactly what I was looking for. Creating a process pool is super easy with it. What was I doing all this time?

I should have used multiprocessing.pool.Pool orz

class Content(models.Model): content_name = models.CharField(...) group_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(...) volume_number = models.PositiveIntegerField(...) ... Assuming we have a typical Django model class, we want to search for its instances using a complex SQL query in a single shot. The results should be displayed on a web page, but since many rows are expected, we want to display a paginator.
