-> mod_python.  I didn't like the FastCGI single-process model when I looked
-> at it.  SCGI wasn't really available at the time, so I've not looked at it
-> that hard.  The mod_python approach has worked well for me; the only thing
-> I've really encountered is that the server should have a lot of memory,
-> since the full application gets duplicated in each of (potentially very
-> many) apache processes.

I have done neither comparisons nor performance testing lately, but
y'all should try out PyWX; the latest release contains a Quixote
handler, and the installation is documented in a HOWTO that Dave
Kuhlman wrote.

PyWX embeds Python in AOLserver, and lets you run Quixote (and any
other Python app) in a single-process/multi-thread mode.

I'll post performance numbers once I have 'em; mod_python is a bitch
to install, I seem to recall...
