Are there locks that could possibly be used for the 'is_alive' function?
Here is the
definition in its entirety.
In 'configure.zcml':
<view
view=".views.is_alive"
name="is_alive"
renderer="json"
/>
in 'views.py':
def is_alive(request):
return True
Whatever the problem is, it causes 'is_alive' to take forever, and the CPU
is not
spinning at 100%, and memory usage is not high. Could this be a lock
problem?

Thanks, I'll check this out.
