Code in question:

theService = None

def handler (apacheReq):
    global theService
    options = apacheReq.get_options()
    cfgs    = cfgfiles
    if options.has_key("TileCacheConfig"):
        cfgs = (options["TileCacheConfig"],) + cfgs
    if not theService:
        theService = Service.load(*cfgs)
    return modPythonHandler(apacheReq, theService)

theService will stay alive so long as the Apache process lives. THis is
true of WSGI (which I thought you were using) as well. This will only
reload on the fly for CGI.
