OMG I HATE MY LIFE SOMETIMES

So… I'll hopefully write more about this later, but the TL;DR is do not use monitor.py and uwsgi.

So if you have something like this in your wsgi.py, comment it out with extreme prejudice.

import monitor
monitor.start(interval=60)

Symptoms include, but not limited to:

• workers not shutting down
• workers appear to hang and cause 50x errors
• workers not restarting if you send appropriate signals
• workers appear to work once or twice then hang
• workers never work
• randomness and non-determinism all over the f'in place
• little to no helpful log output
• propensity to start adding lots of config variables that you don't understand
• propensity to start drinking
• wondering htf everybody else seems to use this software without a problem
• wondering if perhaps computers where a poor career choice after all

I haven't looked into too closely but I suspect the fact that the monitor opens up it's own thread and runs forever has something to do with it. Open files, open sockets, stuff like that.
