I have managed to write my nevow/twisted site. I am using a lot of Athena

the process dies.
The first thing would be to check that you're running at least Python 2.5.
Previous versions have garbage collection problems on long- running apps
like a Twisted web app.
I think this is an overstatement of the memory allocation issues in Python
2.4 and older. :) Python 2.5 does a better job of backing off from peak
allocation, but it's entirely possible to have a long running Python 2.4
process which doesn't grow in memory usage without bounds. I have a Python
2.4 server which often runs for months at a time and has stable memory
usage - at the moment, it's been running since Nov 7 and is using 133MB of
memory, a size it reached within a couple hours of starting up.
