Currently all my python scripts use the script-or-module mechanism as 
recommended by the docs

application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/somepage', 
SomeHandler), ('/anotherpage', AnotherHandler)], debug=True)

# GAE will look for a main() with no args and, if found, caches this script
# so we supply one to make the requests more efficient
def main():
    run_wsgi_app(application)

# How a file can be both a script and an imprtable module...
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()


I'm wondering if I rename that function to not be "main", hence making the 
page just a script and no longer an importable module, will that effectively 
kill the instance after the script runs (my load time is minimal - most of 
my pages simply do datatore-query -> JSON or the reverse) and so minimise my 
instance hours ??

Would it be possible to add something to the GAE API's so that an instance 
can suggest how long it would like to hang around for, or an ability to 
explicitly request to kill itself ?
