Thanks -- that's very good to know! (I'm still stuck in 2.2 most of
the time, for lack of time to test my apps on 2.3, and rebuild the
binary extensions I need.)

Pierre used SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, but not SimpleHTTPServer;
depending on which (super)class manages the persistence, it may or may
not fly.

I'm still tempted to stick with Medusa. As Jim Dukarm pointed out, Sam
Rushing took a lot of care in building Medusa, it's well tested and it's
a known target for Quixote; in the long run it may mean less work for us
all.

That reminds me, I ought to send a note to Pierre to thank him and let
him know we are probably not going to use his code after all...

Best wishes,
