I'm working strictly off memory here, but I thought the point of the implementation was that it used a special library (when available) that eliminated the need for polling. Instead, the op sys would notify the appserver process when a file changed.
Does that sound familiar? Polling has the well known disadvantages of (1) the gap between polls (too big? too small? never just right), (2) wasted effort checking for something repeatedly and in this case, (3) the increased amount of time required per poll as your app grows larger and uses more modules. Although, I don't see why we couldn't have an option to use one technique vs. another. We could even default it to polling sys.modules since that seems less likely to disturb other Python packages like Cheetah. -Chuck On 1/25/06, Tavis Rudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > last time I checked it was still there, but with a comment with your argument > for removal.
