plpythonu+postgrs anybody using it?

[Martin Marcher]

Hello,

I just started on working with a postgres project, the DB looks really
bad and isn't normalized in any way... 4k Text messages representing a
whole protocol which need to be transformed. Somehow it just doesn't
seem right to put this stuff directly in the database and creating a
bunch of stored procedures (SP) to parse them but I'm not the one to
decide it...

My main concern is that when things start getting more complicated
that everytime a SP is called an instance of the interpreter ist
started which would be a huge slowdown, so does plpythonu run
continiously a python process or does it start one everytime a SP is
called?
