Curious - what's mod_python?
A Python module for the Apache web server, that among other things addresses the main shortcoming of CGI: mod_python (and mod_perl, mod_php and mod_ruby, for that matter) keeps the interpreter into memory (and as part of the server, so to speak). The server doesn't need to load and initialize a new interpreter each time a page is requested. This yields a tremendous speed increase (speaking in requests/second there, not in script execution time), and ensures that mod_python scales up *much* better than CGI.
