Yep.  The wonderful thing about mod_python is that it speeds things up
by reusing the already-loaded app; the awful thing about mod_python is
that in order to speed things up it continues to use the already-loaded
version of the app.  :-)

IMO plain old CGI is da bomb for development.  It services requests
more slowly, sure, but that's a small price to pay for not having to
restart the whole bloody server in order to fix a stupid typo.  First
make it right, then make it fast.  :-)
