[Spyce-users] is there any way to pool variables with the standalone spyce blarg blarg in forking mode?

[John R. <joh...@gm...>]

I guess I should have said "webserver" instead of blarg blarg, but you
know what I meant.

Anyway, I'm running the spyce webserver in forking mode on Linux
because if you try to run it in threading mode and you're using
certain (almost any) libraries with native components, there's this
thing where the python process inevitably crashes because of global
interpreter lock mine fields or something.  I have certain data
structures that I store pickled in files, which I'd like to read in
once when the server starts up and not have to parse again.

I was hoping I could use the pool for this, but it seems like it's
probably impossible for obvious reasons.

Is it impossible?

Another possibility occured to me as I was typing... the spyce conf
file in 2.0 is a python script itself, right?  Is it imported in the
mother process, before the forking begins?  If so, I could just
unpickle in the conf script.
