I understand that Python has them, but PHP doesn't. I think that is because mod_php is built into apache, but mod_python is not usually in apache. If mod_python was built into apache, would python still have long running processes (LRP)?
Do LRPs have to do with a Python interpreter running all the time? Or is it something else? I also understand that LRPs are the reason that shared hosting is less common, and more expensive for python than php. The LRP have a major effect on how many users can packed onto a single server. As to LRPs: does it matter if you're using mod_python, fastcgi, wsgi, scgi, cgi, or whatever? Obviously, I am a little foggy about LRPs, can somebody help me out? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
