depends, if you need to handle thousands of requests that are at the same time pretty idle (see Comet for ex), the memory that threads consume is a big issue. An event based framework solves this by saving as litle state as needed (or possible) so that it could handle a large number of otherwise slow or idle connections. Python in general is not so well suited for all of this. I've been playing with Erlang latelly and this kind of stuff is impresivelly easier there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
