Are you using any C modules?  These are the most prone to problems --
memory leaks, segmentation faults, etc.  You might not notice the
problems until the module has been loaded for days (like in Webware).  I
haven't seen any complaints about this for MySQLdb, though (but other
database adapters have had occasional problems).

I sometimes get ghost processes that hang around for a short while, but
not long.  Sometimes a port gets left open (I think FreeBSD was having
the most problems), but I think that's been somewhat resolved (or at
least I haven't had problems for a while, and no one's mentioned it on
the list).  If the port is open, you'll get an error when restarting the
AppServer (Address In Use or something).

Have you tried killing the server more forcefully?  Like "killall -9
python" ?  What platform are you on?
