The python uuid library use libuuid from e2fsprogs (at least in > ubuntu). This particular uuid library spanws a daemon called uuidd to > help with concurrent uuid generation. As far as i know the only way to > disable this behaviour is to compile libuuid with --disable-uuidd > option. > > When you run ./manage.py runserver the first time, libuuid launch > uuidd with fork(2). This cause uuidd to inherit all open file > descriptors from the parent process. In this case the parent process > is the python interpreter running manage.py and the open file > descriptors are among other things the open tcp connections.
