I don't know plpython terribly well, but for most PLs, calling them once in a session loads any interpreter they require. That interpreter remains loaded for the duration of the session. So each individual connection will load its own interpreter, once, at the time of the first function call requiring that interpreter. Most widely used languages also cache various bits of important information about the functions you run, the first time you run them in a session, to avoid needing to look up or calculate that information again when you run the function next time. -- Joshua Tolley / eggyknap End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com
