how Django reads http request and sends http response

If I write a simple http server in C. I can read http request through a file descriptor generated by accept() function in a while loop. And I can send http response to client through that file descriptor.

In Django I know the HttpRequest object will be passed to view function as a argument, but I want to know which function reads the HttpRequest through the socket and generate a HttpRequest object?

I know view function will return a HttpResponse object. But which function will send the actual http response to the client?

And where is the while loop?

Django doesn't do this. It implements WSGI standard and sits behind a WSGI server (such as Gunicorn or uWSGI) and lets it interact with sockets. If you want to learn more about it, you need to look up what's going on inside a wsgi server.
