For templates, no. For changes to the actual Python code in use, generally yes. The reason for this is that, under both mod_python and FastCGI, the server process loads all the code into memory when it starts up, and keeps it there; it doesn't reload on every request. These server arrangements do so for performance reasons -- loading lots of code and libraries on every request (as would happen under normal CGI, for example) would impose a significant penalty. There are some workarounds: mod_python, for example, supports a "PythonAutoReload" directive which, if turned on, will tell mod_python to check the modification date of files and reload them. However, this again imposes a performance penalty. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
