Wow, great conversation you guys have, I'm gonna have to read and
re-read :)

Before we go on further here, this is something I've been meaning to get
done and ask you guys.

I wanted to use jonpy cgi modules http://jonpy.sourceforge.net/ which is
great for consolidating CGI related processing. Look at
http://jonpy.sourceforge.net/cgi.html where there's params, environ and
cookies data (if we need in the future).

jonpy also does mod_python and fastCGI. Mod_python and fastCGI requires
pyblosxom to run more like a servlet thingy (pyblosxom should never
exit), and without modification to pyblosxom at all the modpy and fcgi
modules can be used in the boot up code and ensures that pyblosxom never
dies (sounds like an 007 movie).

Yay, or nay? I need your vote. This will require major tweaks in
pyblosxom code but I should be able to get it done in the weekend.
