I developed a fcgiapp extension module. It may be found at:
http://www.digicool.com/jim/python/fcgiapp.html
This is a single-threaded version, as is the current version of
the fcgiapp library. We are working on a multithreaded version using
the experimental multi-threaded version of fcgiapp.
Comments/feedback would be appreciated.
Mark,
Could you arrange to get a link to this on the Fast CGI pages?
Jim
