| | 134 | Both mod_python and FastCGI are structured in such a way that there's no such thing as "application startup" or "server startup"; the best solution is to place your "startup" code somewhere that's guaranteed to be imported early on in the request/response cycle (the `__init__.py` file of your project, or of a specific application you're using, can be a good place, because Python will execute code found there the first time it has to import the module; just be aware that referencing the same module in different ways, say by doing `from myproject.myapp import foo` in one place, and `from myapp import foo` in another, will cause that code to be executed once for each different way you import it). |
