Even though I've actually implemented a small WebWare site, I'm still trying to 
grasp the 10,000 foot view of all the tools.  I have a specific question about 
PSP.

Am I correct in thinking that PSP is, essentially, just syntactic sugar?  As I 
read the doc, it looks to me like a PSP-based page is fed into a translator 
that produces a Python module -- a temporary servlet -- which is then passed 
into the Python interpreter to be executed.  Is that the model?

How many server invocations am I paying for in that scenario?  Is the PSP 
translator persistent?  The big benefit of ASP, at least, is that the 
interpreter lives in the server, so there is little penalty.  Is the same true 
here, or do I get one invocation to translate, and another to interpret the 
results?

For those of you that use PSP: do you find that the syntax is actually easier 
to maintain than a straight Python scripts with HTML in """quoted strings"""?
