run django microservice with while loop?

I have a django app running as a microservice. Which has a function which does the following:



  1. Checks for filenames matching *.json in a directory.

  2. for each file:

    • processes json data and converts to xml.

    • saves xml in target directory.


  3. Exits function.

Is there any reason i shouldn't do this to keep it running on a cycle:



While True:
main_function()


The previous developer was using threading which i think is making things far too complicated given there's no need to optimise performance.
