OTOH, that trick changes the behavior of the entire server.  Since I
often do my development on the production machine (speaking of having
issues pop up, developing and deploying on hosts that have had some
subtle yet important config differences accrue is a *big* winner that
way), that's not an attractive option.

Good point about that w.r.t. mod_python - IIRC it runs the script using
the user and group of the apache server, which makes some things
totally different.  Which was one of the reasons I stopped trying to
use mod_python a long while ago...

I haven't had any problems going back and forth between plain CGI and
fastCGI (other than a few differences in the driver stub, which I can't
call to mind becuase I haven't had to touch that stuff in ages);
presumably SCGI would be much the same.

Executive summary: there are nine and ninety ways ... and every single
one of them is *right*... for some set of circumstances, and wrong for
others.  :-)
