cgi2scgi is a small C programm which can be used as cgi-script
which passes the request to an scgi server. For me, most of the time
plain cgi is fast enough.

But the worker processes are created with os.fork(). I think that is
not available for windows (without cygwin).

Yes, you need to restart the scgi server if you modify a page
which gets imported from python.

In production environment, these files should not get altered.

If you want to change ptl files, AFAIK you could use __import__ .
===> python
>>> help(__import__)
