PyApache is a CGI accelerator. If you have existing CGIs, then it can be
nice. However, I'm not sure about the status of it, whether it is being
maintained, etc.

mod_snake and mod_python both have CGI accelerators. But they also allow you
to write much higher performance Python code. They have slightly different
approaches and different feature sets. mod_snake is a new, clean
implementation and works with Apache 1.3 and 2.0. mod_python is a bit older,
but I think it carries a bit of baggage as a result.
