Yes, the clients will be communicating with Django server via TCP connection by WSGI protocol and some server-side code will be establishing UDP-connection with your Python server.

import socket

UDP_IP = "127.0.0.1"
UDP_PORT = 5005

# django view
def send_string_to_udp_server_view(request):
    message = request.GET.get('message')  # message presumably sent as query string
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    sock.sendto(message, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
    sock.close()

PS: for simplicity sake the code lacks all the checks and exceptions handling.
