[Webware-discuss] how does webware handle 'import'?

[Michael B. <mb...@me...>]

I am currently writing a WebApp using Webware0.7/Python2.2, and I have
discovered a strange (at least for me) behaviour. And I bet that you guys
are just the ones to tell me how to handle this, or what I might be doing
wrong.

First, I had some problems with my singletons. Sometimes, the singleton
instance was just forgotten about and a new one was created. No good.
I then found out that this was due to a re-import of the class, i. e.
Webware behaves as if the class was never imported before, imports it
again, and consequently also creates a new instance.
After further testing, I learnt that every file gets re-imported every
once in a while.
This seems so strange to me as I have read in the Python docs that every
import is performed only once, and that's it. So, I really have no clue
why this behaves so differently (even fatal in my case) when the code
is running under Webware.

Any ideas, hints, solutions?
