I would like to point out yet again that CGI isn't as bad as many people
make it out to be.  Unless you know you need to handle thousands of
requests per minute, the overhead of creating a process and firing up the
interpreter is not significant.

CGI is certainly an easier debug environment than mod_python or any of the
long-running-process solutions.
