IIS and ISAPI --> helicon ? AFAIK it was the "old" standard. When Azure eventually moved to support python web apps, smart guys at MS implemented the - until that moment - missing link to run natively a fastcgi python process speaking with IIS through the "same interface" that runs any other fastcgi-enabled language (e.g. PHP), which is the wfastcgi.py module/script. I'd go for the "newly and improved" rather than having a 3rd party integrated with ISAPI: less moving parts, better support moving forward as it's "100%" MS supported code.
