title: Maintaining a (singleton) process with mod_wsgi?
body: <p>I have a python <code>web.py</code> app with <em>long (minutes) start-up time</em> that I'd like to host with in Apache with <code>mod_wsgi</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The long-term answer may be "rewrite the app."  But <strong>in the short term</strong> I'd like to configure <code>mod_wsgi</code> to:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Use a single process to serve the app (I can do this with <code>WSGIDaemonProcess processes=1</code>), 
  <em>and</em></li>
  <li>Keep using that process without killing it off periodically</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Is #2 doable?  Or, are there other stopgap solutions I can use to host this app?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
