Mine would be, istd. of mod_python:

Very efficient computing environment, I'ld say.

And maybe you could give users a 'headstart' by creating sort of a 'contains
all' directory hierarchy. With contains all, I mean a python source file +
document template file(s) that use the most common constructs (reading a
form, connecting to DB, sessions, looping through arrays with dtml-in, the
CGI parameters file, etc.) in the environment.

Happy to help you(r friend) set it up, if you want :-)
