It all starts to make sense again with servers that combine several services into one application, especially if some involve persistent connections. You don't want to bounce offline all users currently using the IMAP and IRC servers every time you make a small change to a web page.
If you're doing development on the live server the users are using, bouncing them off every now and then is a good way to let them know they are morons for using such a sketchy server.
The rebuild() solution mentioned by Christopher Armstrong mostly takes care of that.
The rebuild() solution will probably consume most of the start-up time.
On-the-fly reloading can be hell, but the ubiquitous "server reboot" is what I *really* disgusted in most J2EE implementations. I really hope twisted is not going to enforce this.
Twisted is not about enforcement. Twisted is about mocking people who are using the technology in non-optimal ways. -- Moshe Zadka -- http://moshez.org/ Buffy: I don't like you hanging out with someone that... short.
