Just to avoid confusion on the list, I'm not requesting help or information about timeouts, but specifically a way to tweak tilecache so that if it receives an error from the wms, it will try to make the same exact request a second time, perhaps after waiting a second-<div>

I tend to write my stylesheets 'by hand', which has its tradeoffs. I don't have the benefit of a 'gis' to do my thematics and symbols, but I benefit from the flexibility of having the styles and tile server (in my cases either mapserver or mapnik) being uncoupled (if needed) with any particular framework or server platform.</div>

It's Manifold GIS wms that has a mapserver component. It runs in IIS. For reason or another, after the process has been running for a little while, some requests come back fine, and others return an error. I've set up a service to hit the mapserver at regular intervals, and refresh the application pool if this condition arises, but it would also be helpful if there were some way to tell TileCache to try to get the same image again if it the first time comes back with an error.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I say this because the WMS problem is intermitten, and often hitting the same link again results in a image coming back rather than an error. Has anyone tried adding this functionality, or know where I would need to start to implement this?</div>

<br> </div>Not at all. The "sys.path" list is what Python uses to actually<br> search for modules; things like the PYTHONPATH variable or the<br> PythonPath entries in the Windows registry are just different ways to<br>
