This seems to be doing what i want. However i have some more
questions :)

1. Am i correct in thinking i would have to add for instance FastCGI to
the Spyce install in order to get it working?

2. In jsp, i often used my own java objects in the code. Can you also do
this with Spyce? For instance, if i would have to get data from a db, i
would
make an object that implements code to do this and then create an instance
of that object in a PSP. Is this doable?

3. What databases can be accessed from Python?
