Need to check mod_python out more closely. I thought it wasn't being
updated recently : but you are right, if it is like the blurb for 
mod_perl, it
should make recreating backend python objects on each request unnecessary .
mod_python sounds better than using either simple http , simple xmlrpc or
rolling  your own  unix socket server.
