    I thought mod_python would be the answer to my CGI performance issue,
    but I can't seem to make much sense out of it. All the examples are
    too trivial to be of much use.

    Given that I have an application consisting of several CGI scripts,
    what is the simplest way to go about converting it to run on
    mod_python, not using the CGI-handler which is allegedly slow and
    buggy? Everything seems to suggest a major rewrite because I not only
    need to shift from printing everything to calling req.write or
    whatever, but I may also need to sort out some sort of dispatching
    mechanism mapping URLs to functions if I use mod_python directly. PSP
    doesn't work on my system as 3.1.2 gives me errors and the Win32
    installer for 3.1.3 fails at the last step (finding the Apache
    directory in the registry or something).
