To echo what Daniel said, mod_wsgi is really the way to go. It might still not work in "embedded" mode where like mod_python the Python interpreter is in the Apache instance thus there might be binary linking conflicts, but you can use it in daemon mode where it launches external python processes and passes requests back and forth through them. That's not as slow as it sounds too :) Also maybe check out lxml or ElementTree (cElementTree); minidom is about *the* slowest way to parse XML in Python I believe. And is terribly unpythonic-- which may be why you made xml_utils, I dunno. Check out lxml/ElementTree :) --S
