    <p>Since the difference between your working invocation and your non-working invocation is only the "-n" option, it seems most likely that the problem is caused by the daemonization process (which "-n" prevents from happening).</p> <p>On POSIX, one of the steps involved in daemonization is forking and having the parent exit. Among of things, this has the consequence of having your code run in a different process than the one in which the .tac file was evaluated. This also re-arranges the child/parent relationship of processes which were started in the .tac file - as your pool of multiprocessing processes were.</p> <p>The multiprocessing pool's processes start off with a parent of the twistd process you start. However, when that process exits as part of daemonization, their parent becomes the system init process. This may cause some problems, although probably not the hanging problem you described. There are probably other similarly low-level implementation details which normally allow the multiprocessing module to work but which are disrupted by the daemonization process.</p> <p>Fortunately, avoiding this strange interaction should be straightforward. Twisted's service APIs allow you to run code after daemonization has completed. If you use these APIs, then you can delay the initialization of the multiprocessing module's process pool until after daemonization and hopefully avoid the problem. Here's an example of what that might look like:</p> <pre><code>from twisted.application.service import Service class MultiprocessingService(Service): def startService(self): self.pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=processes) MultiprocessingService().setServiceParent(application) </code></pre> <p>Now, separately, you may also run into problems relating to clean up of the multiprocessing module's child processes, or possibly issues with processes created with Twisted's process creation API, reactor.spawnProcess. This is because part of dealing with child processes correctly generally involves handling the SIGCHLD signal. Twisted and multiprocessing aren't going to be cooperating in this regard, though, so one of them is going to get notified of all children exiting and the other will never be notified. If you don't use Twisted's API for creating child processes at all, then this may be okay for you - but you might want to check to make sure any signal handler the multiprocessing module tries to install actually "wins" and doesn't get replaced by Twisted's own handler.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
