Hello. I'm attempting to expose a COM object as a Web service using Zope's XML-RPC capabilities. I have it working, but I've come across an issue and many hours of searching documentation have not made it apparent how to resolve it. The COM object I'm using takes a non-trivial amount of time to start up. I'd like to create a bunch of them and keep them around, kind of like database handles in a connection pool. It is not clear to me how to do this, without creating a product analogous to a database connector. I don't suppose there's some way I can create objects at some "global" interpreter level, accessible by every thread? Any help would be appreciated. -Jin
