It's really just a simple PHP script that invokes the Python script: http://paste.debian.net/31026/ single_tile.py is a modified generate_tile.py that renders only a single tile based on three environment variables: http://paste.debian.net/31027/ As said, this was the first time ever I came in touch with Python, so the patch is really simple. ;-) Anyway. This method keeps the server busy with invoking Interpreters and parsing scripts instead of really do something useful, that's why I would not suggest it for any production environment. Instead I'm thinking about writing some multithreaded FreePascal or C++ FastCGI server that does it much more efficiently (by using libmapnick internally) but I still need to have a look at mod_tile as it might already provide a highly performant solution.
