Yes, this is true. The modern way of doing this is called WSGI, which is not as easy as CGI to being with, but people do get used to it. > The interpreter startup > time is quite high.

I just got curious to see if this heavy weight operation can be reduced. Looks like it can be. >From wikipedia: The overhead involved in interpretation may be reduced by using compiled CGI programs, such as those in C/C++, rather than using Perl or other scripting languages. The overhead involved in process creation can be reduced by solutions such as FastCGI, or by running the application code entirely within the web server using special extension modules. -- Senthil It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
