Not specifically Python related but thought I'd ask. If you have a low-bandwidth website running on a shared web hosting service as a WSGI server (or FastCGI, or any other interface with its own process), is it considered a responsible thing for the process to exit on its own after a period of non-activity, or is that something best left for the host to manage?
I'd guess that modern web hosts would prefer that processes stay running, even if they go long periods without use, rather than having to periodically restart processes. Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
