If you have to restart an application, every network peer connected to
it loses its connection.  Think of a phone switch.  Do you really want
your calls dropped every few hours of conversation time, just because
some lame application decided to restart itself?  Phone switches go to
great lengths to keep running through both hardware failures and
software upgrades, without dropping any calls.  That's the kind of
application it sounds like the OP is trying to run.

To the OP: besides Python you might also consider Erlang.
