If you're going to go with a separate setup for the Python processes,
you should take a look at AOLserver/PyWX (http://pywx.idyll.org/).   I
also have instructions on how to map AOLserver into an Apache namespace
with the Proxy stuff at http://www.idyll.org/~t/www-tools/.

Pure Python Web serving is butt slow; if speed is a concern, you really
don't want to do things that way ;).
