Our website loadtesting application http://www.stressmy.com has backend
agents that 'run forever'. (Actually, we're doing frequent upgrades,
so most agents get restarted at least once a week, but we've
never had anything fail from memory or resource leaks).
I find multithreaded apps much easier to develop and debug in
Python than in C/C++ or Java. However, I'm becoming convinced
that it's better to use select() than threads for waiting on I/O.
