No. In mod_python there can be multiple distinct interpreter instances in each Apache child process. If using a multithreaded Apache MPM, there can be multiple active threads in each Apache child process and more than one thread can be executing within any one particular interpreter instance within a process at the same time. For more details about the Apache/mod_python process/interpreter models read: http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/TheProcessInterpreterModel Graham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
