Hi JP. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, the PyLucene import does happen as a result of an import in the .tac
file. I just made some changes to delay the import until PyLucene is
actually needed. That didn't work, and nor did further hiding the import by
using __import__.
Is it right that all the -n switch to twistd does is prevent the fork?
