This is a much more constrained hook into Apache than what mod_python 
provides.  For instance, you could provide much the same thing, but 
where subrequests actually go out over HTTP.  There's quite a bit of 
data you couldn't share over HTTP, so it's not entirely equivalent, but 
it's still pretty close (especially if there was something on the Apache 
side to fix up the slightly-richer-than-HTTP environment based on 
special headers).
