That is saying, if you use mod_python, don't use the CGI handler of
mod_python unless you have to, but use the native mod_python interfaces.

Personally I would suggest http://jonpy.sf.net/ which provides an
interface such that you can write your code once and it will work
unchanged under CGI, mod_python and FastCGI.
