I have NO exprerience with WWW server other than WebStar. It seems unlikely
that other WWW server porgrams support "SEND_PARTIAL" mechanism as same
way as
WebStart.

I will introduce new class, PythonCGIslaveFroWebStar for example, which
inherite PythonCGISlave class from the PythonCGISlave.py. So that
WebStar specific code 
will be separated from the PythonCGISlave.py. It should be noted that we
need to
put  "if __name__ == '__main__': " statement in the PythonCGISlave.py. 

I will post the source when I finish a test.
