Sorry I missed most of this thread! I wanted to interject that there are
some experimental web frameworks that might allow us to get around the
issues with browser reload. Most of these fall under "continuation-based"
web frameworks. For example, CherryFlow:
http://subway.python-hosting.com/wiki/CherryFlow
There are links on that page that talk about this in more detail.
However, I have to admit that the only continuation web frameworks I've
been playing with have been in PLT Scheme, so I'm not so sure how mature
the Python implementations are.
Best of wishes!
