I don't think I'm understanding this very well. By doing some inspection, I see that Apache is running under two PIDs, which makes sense because ServerLimit right now is set to 2. What I'm wondering is, does each of those processes have a persistent instance of Django in its own python process waiting for requests, i.e., if I set a global variable in a module, do requests that happen to be served by the same Apache process have that value set persistently from request to request?
I want to start a subprocess to handle some intensive work for me making thumbnails, and I want to understand how Django works better in order to have a better grasp of what is going on when I do. I don't want to inadvertently do something to annoy my hosting company - I'm going to try and write this thing so that only one copy of the slave process is going at any one time and working away at the tasks one at a time. I think I'm going to handle that through a lock file in any case, but it still would really help me if someone could clarify what happens when a Django 1.0.2 website receives a request, given the configuration of running behind Apache 2 via mod_wsgi 2.0 with Python 2.5 (not 2.6, curses... I really had my heart set on trying the multiprocessing package :)). Thanks for any help!
