Looking for a high performance web server written in Python, and supports CGI/FastCGI

[Jack]

Thanks Tim and Gerard for recommending karrigell.

I just checked it out. It is indeed a nice package. However, I didn't find 
it
easier to learn or use than CherryPy though. I read through CherryPy 
tutorials
and have got a good idea how to use it. I also read Karrigell docs. The way
Karrigell uses subpath behind CGI file name is a little strange to me. 
Nonetheless,
Karrigell looks very nice to me but I may start with CherryPy.

What's missing (according to my requirement/wishlist) is, as a web server, 
the
build-in web server does not handle CGI or FastCGI apps, making python
the only way to write apps...
