Threads or background processes in Google App Engine (GAE)

Question

Hey,

I'm running a post, and need the request to be replied fast. So I wanted to put a worker running some operations in background and reply the request imidiatly.

The worker is always finite in operations and executes in [0;1] second

How can I do this? Is there any module that suports this in the google app engine api?

Edit:

In python

Yes. You want to use the Task Queue API. It does exactly what you need.
