I have been using Quixote in Windows XP and Windows 2000 in
combination with Medusa, and have been very happy with it. Earlier, I
ran Quixote under Xitami in Windows XP, just using CGI, and had no
problems.

Xitami has a performance-boosting thing called long-running
web processes (LRWP), which has a Python API developed, I think, by
Greg Ward.

I experimented with Webware a couple of years ago in connection with
my application (an intranet equipment diagnostics thing using
ODBC to talk to a database). As I recall, Webware was approximately as
nice as Quixote, but the developers were busy adding frills and bells
and whistles, and I just needed a basic core product that worked. At the
time, there was also no obvious choice for an HTTP server that I could
integrate with a Webware app and deliver with the same installer on
the same CD.  Quixote with Medusa is just exactly what I want, it
works very well, it is easy to understand, and it is well supported.
