If the Web Server is Apache, then there are several Apache modules to integrate Python inside Apache. I think Guido van Rossum uses "mod_snake". Search "comp.lang.python" via "www.python.org" or "dejanews". All these approaches would save you the new process spawn and the build up of its infrastructure all together. If you cannot use any of these options, then the Python "freeze" facility may help you. Dieter
