update_progress

Hey Chris,

I tried to implement update_progress in a task but nothing really happens...

From your source code, it seems like I can you the code straight from your example:

Job.update_progress(total_parts=pckg_size, total_parts_complete=pckg_completed)

So I just want to make sure that it cant be used as in the lines below:
job_obj = Job.objects.get(pk=9)
job_obj.update_progress(total_parts=pckg_size, total_parts_complete=pckg_completed)

Nevertheless, I can't make it work...

Make sure you're committing the transaction. If you have your code in a transaction, then the progress update won't be sent to the serve until the transaction is committed.

Somehow the pool of threads that I created inside the Job can't access the Job object itself. Otherwise it does work...

Is there a way to force the committing? (sorry for the newbie questions)
