Thanks... Nice to hear.

It's not Spyce. The pool variables last as long as the Spyce engine.

It's not mod_python. From the documentation: "Once created, a
subinterpreter will be reused for subsequent requests. It is never
destroyed and exists until the Apache child process dies."
See: http://www.modpython.org/live/mod_python-2.7.8/doc-html/pyapi-interps.html

It's Apache. Apache regularly recycles it's children processes. See:
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html
and look at the following configuration options:
  MinSpareServers, MaxSpareServers, StartServers, MaxRequestsPerChild

All the best,
Rimon.
