If you instantiate the Python COM object at the application level, then it
should be resident and available immediately. You could instantiate one or
more of these COM objects at the Application level and keep them in a pool.
This should eliminate any unloading/reloading problem. Allocate them to
incoming ASP requests as needed.
Good Luck,
Michael D. Kersey
