Alas it is even worse than that, the development server is single threaded and that can be a big problem when developing sites that make multiple simultaneous requests at the same time (say if one of those requests stalls for some reason). It is trivial to add multi threading via a mixin (takes about two lines of code) but it does not seem to be a priority to do so. For large traffic though, Django is better than just about anything other framework because it is built as multiprocess framework through mod_python (rather than threaded). So there is no global interpreter lock, thread switching etc. Django was built based in a real life heavy duty use scenario, and over the years that really helped with ironing out the problems. i. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
