Depends on the "shared environment". But even if you can't set 
PYTHONPATH, you can always import sys and append (or prepend) to 
sys.path before doing any other import.

Can't tell, never used it. But how to deploy it is very certainly 
documented on the project's page.

mod_python ? Fine. And, if I may ask, did you actually took time to read 
the FineManual(tm) ?-)

Depends... What kind of object is 'rest' ? How is this list named ?

Same question.

What goes inside ${} are ordinary Python expressions, yes.
