Just thought I'd mention it. As stated in some posts I put on the list in the last few days, I'm working on a FastCGI server for python. Of course its not as fast as lighttpd, but I think it still has many applications. I've currently got a *very* simple prototype, but I expect the finished module to subclass BaseHTTPRequestHandler and work similar to the CGIHTTPServer module.
I'll let everyone know when its ready, and you can try it out if you like ;) -- mthorley -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
