No apologies needed. You highlighted precisely the issue that is causing us to move to proper "microservices" at Eventbrite. Without splitting our monolith into separate processes, migrating to newer versions of Django or to Python 3 simply isn't tractable for us. Luckily we've already decoupled much of the monolith by moving functionality into a homegrown service framework that lets you run services either remotely or colocated in the same process without code changes.
