I had also been hoping to be able to grab a whole path line without
having to get zopish with an object hierarchy :)  So, I'll have whip
something up with __getattr__ also I guess.

Just as an aside, here's some code that was posted to the mod_python
mail list a little bit ago that does it with a mod_python publisher.
Something like this:

# This module is responsible for translating the URL space as designed
# into its components:
#
# http://py.cs.uchicago.edu/path/to/program/args1/args2?internal+data
# ----   ------------------ --------------- ----------- -------------
# |      server             \ script_path   \ args_path \ internal
# \ scheme

The code can be found at:
