hmm, are you using PyApache (instead of vanilla CGI) because
of speed?

i did some benchmarking a while back, and found PyApache to be
about as dog slow as CGI. i supposed this is because PyApache
creates a new interpreter & imports all modules for each
request. it's not the fork()ing that's slow with cgi, it's the
userspace initialization of the cgi program...

httpdapy seems to be very fast, (10-100x faster than CGI or PyApache in
my experience) as it preserves the same python interpreter accross
http requests.

or perhaps PyApache has moved to the directin of httpdapy since
i last tried it out?
