(Re)starting ZServer takes about 18 seconds on my development NT4 system (192 MB, 540 Mhz overclocked Celeron). I somehow feel that this is an a tad bit inappropriate time lag.
Why?
Let me add "for development purposes" to clarify. Look, I am used to blazingly fast compilers - Object Pascal (Borland Delphi) and Borland C++Builder with well-done pre-compiled headers. 19 seconds delay, combined with the "manual" action of shutting down the server + starting it up again - I perceive that as an eternity. What do I do in these 19 seconds?
the ability to do a python reload could be elaborated and implimented, of course you have to source code so you can provide a patch. ;)
You wouldn't want to accept a patch from someone who has clocked 20 hours of Python and Zope combined <g>. If I knew more about Zope and Python, you would have seen a patch by now. But since I am pretty new to both of them, I am still trying to reverse-engineer everything for at least some understanding of how things work. PS: Of course I don't develop on a production machine.
