I don't think that book answers how to do it on a Mac, under WebStar...

Last time I looked, CGI parameters are handled to the CGI program as
AppleEvents.

Anyone out there successfully using Python CGI under WebStar?

I once wrote a simple long-running Python server, which would receive AE's
from the web server, and then execute .py scripts. Never used in a real
application, but maybe that apporach could still work; it saves a lot of
startup overhead. It's a shame noone had the time yet to implement a
compatibility layer to be able to use straight unix CGI's...
