If you are using unix, my recommendation is using fast-cgi and the
dynamic options of the mod_fastcgi.

Oh, "why?" You ask?
Because it will scale well and open up a couple of persistant python
processes depending on the load.

AFAIK mod_python and mod_snake only allow one process per apache
process and some of them need to reset the python interpreter to
some extent for each run...
