I'm running: Apache 1.3.22 Python 2.1.2 mod_python 2.7.6 Red Hat 6.2 Netscape 4.72 I'm just starting to play around with mod_python. So far it seems pretty neat, but I don't quite understand how mod_python notices when a module gets updated, and what it does when it notices. Most of the time, if I edit my python file and reload my browser window, I get the results of the new module. Sometimes, however, it seems like I've got to reload twice to see the effect of the change. This seems to be more likely to happen if the last version of the module generated an error. Even weirder, I can get into states where if I keep hitting reload, I'll cycle through a number of different earlier versions of the page. I've got several httpd's running, and I'm guessing each time I do a reload it gets served by a different process, and apparantly each process has a different version of the module cached. What I don't understand is why each process doesn't notice that the disk file has changed and re-import the module. Or maybe my understanding of what's going on is totally off the wall? -- Roy Smith Staff Engineer Visionary Model Development roy.smith at micromuse.com +1 914 747 7612
