You can also pass the open sockets around between processes instead of
reverse proxying, using the SCM_RIGHTS message on Unix domain sockets
under Linux, or some similar mechanism under other Unixes (no idea
about Windows).  Python does not currently support this but one of
these days I want to get around to writing a patch.
