Zope is (rightly) considered as a memory/resources hog, and I have a Zope instance hosting two apps on a cheap dedicated server that has not been restarted for the past 2 or 3 years. So as long as your code is clean you should not have much problem with the Python runtime itself, at least on a a linux box. Can't tell how it would work on Windows. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
