Besides Steve's suggestion, there are several add-on packages that add this
kind of capability.  Webware has a unit called PSP that is very ASP-like.
Cheetah is similar to it.  Both packages actually generate Python code and
execute it in a CGI context, although there are Apache extensions to allow
the generated scripts to run in Apache's context.
