[Zope] RE: Zope and mod_python

[Pascal Peregrina]

The targeted architecture is : Apache2/mod_python/ZopeHandler <-> ZEO

At startup Apache initialize a pool of child processes (the processes that
handle requests).
Each Apache child process starts a python interpreter (mod_python does it)
which in turns initialize an embedded Zope instance.

Child processes are reusable, so if you correclty set the pool in Apache,
the python processes should live as long as Apache itself.

Note that I am not an Apache/mod_python specialist.
It's just that when I wanted to try running Zope with mod_python, I found on
the web that apparently noone had done it before, and even that in odler
versions of mod_python it was clearly stated that it was impossible to
achieve.
So I just decided to expose what I did to the community, to get feedback.

My installation has now been running for 5 days, and I have still no issues,
both browsing my site or using the ZMI.

Hmmm, how and where are connections made to the ZODB?
Is there still a long-running process with this method?
