Hello,

I have build a webserver with Twisted 2.4 with imports of the following:

from twisted.web import resource, static, server, twcgi from twisted.internet import reactor

I'm adding several mods as child to the root with:

root = static.File(settings.getSetting("html_directory")) root.putChild(mods.getPath(), mods

The mods are classes like

class module(resource.Resource): def render_GET(self, request): # do something

The reactor is started as: reactor.listenTCP(_port, server.Site(root)) reactor.run( )

Some of the GET request in the mods can take some time to complete. In the current situation other request to the server have to wait on this request.

Is it possible to make soms kind of a thread/connection pool so that more then one request can be handled at the same time?

Regards, Tjerk

Yes it is possible to use a thread pool, in fact twisted comes with one. However, how you use it depends on what is taking so long for you: - if it's database calls then consider using twisted.enterprise.adbapi - http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/enterprise.html - if it's python code taking so long then consider breaking your code into shorter snippets that yield control back to twisted periodically so that other requests don't get ignored - if it's network code then make sure you're using Deferred's properly - http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/defer.html Hope that helps.
