def my_view(request):

    # blah blah blah, Django stuff

    with do_async(pubsub_id) as reporter:
        for long_thing in long_things:
            result_of_long_thing = long_thing()
            if result_of_long_thing.is_important():
                reporter.publish(result_of_long_thing)

    return HttpResponse(blah)            

This is impossible, sadly, because there is no way in python for the context decorator on line 8 to change the thread in which the context block executes.
