running code from "Scripting The Web with Python"

[Eugene Leitl]

I haven't snipped the rest of the post, to preserve content. The program
works nicely (it is serving a Java applet page right now), and I'm very
much impressed with it. Not with the program, that is, with the language.

It solves several of my problems: I can have a single binary containing my
entire application, instead of littering the client's filespace with
diverse versions of Python and/or large frozen binaries, or even little
ugly fewmets in the cgi-bin and html directories. Perfect.

Are the handlers asynchronous? Or will the server hang if processing
a lengthy request? If yes, are Python threads painless, or are
there diverse caveats?

TIA,
Eugene
