python cgi speedup on iis

[Charlie Taylor]

I'm looking for advice on how to speed up python cgi on Windows IIS without
going to an application server like Zope/WebWare/CherryPy/etc (i.e. I have
existing cgi scripts).

mod_python seems like a good solution for Apache, is there something
comparable for IIS?

I notice that ASP scripts run an asp.dll which I believe becomes memory
resident to speed up VBScript execution.

Is there any work on a python.dll anywhere?

Thanks,
