Actually, let me clarify things as I understand them, just in case it helps.

The translator __init__ in my Glupy module seems to be called just once, when
the vol file is loaded.

Basing that on the statements I used to have in it like:

  print 'In translator __init__() function'

That would only turn up in the output once (when loading vol file), whereas
the fop functions (ie lookup_fop()) are definitely called once per operation.

(this is why it seemed like a good idea to initialise the tcp connection
once in init, and then reuse it in the fop() functions)

Does that help?
