How to refresh a view in Django

I'm fairly new to Django and couldn't figure this one out. I have a HTML page with a form, and once the user clicks submit an external python script is called using celery. I have a view that can check if the celery job is done, but how do I continually poll the database to check if my job is done? Is there a way to "refresh" the view so that it continually polls the job status? I know you can do this in javascript, but I'm not sure how to integrate this with Django (is there some sort of module...)? Any help would be great, thanks!

You can redirect yourself to your own html (https://realpython.com/django-redirects/) On your view.py, after the 'POST' case:

return redirect(request.META['HTTP_REFERER'])

You're on the right track. What you're looking for is Javascript and Ajax. This is a good answer.
