alternatives to mod python

[snacktime]

I'm looking for a simple async ssl http server that can accept http
POST requests. Performance is an issue, which is why I'm currently
using mod python. I don't really want to require installing apache
and mod python though if I can help it, since this is software that
will be distributed to end users.

Anyone have any suggestions? The only other thing I looked at was
twisted, which I'm still evaluating.

I second that. Add Nevow too - www.nevow.com

Might as well check out CherryPy as well. www.cherrypy.org
Might turn out to be simpler for your needs.
