Message: [QUOTE="Paul Boddie, post: 1829010"] That looks like an interesting application/component. Although a kind of Web "middleware" standard called WSGI [1] has been proposed to somehow alleviate these kinds of problems, I'd recommend using WebStack [2] to implement a "cross-backend" solution which will run on CGI, mod_python, Twisted, BaseHTTPServer and other technologies. Some might argue that writing directly to WSGI would allow you to re-use your CGI-based code moderately easily whilst having some backend portability. I'd argue that WebStack's API is slightly more high-level and that the WebStack distribution should provide you with everything you need to deploy your application on the backends you've chosen (plus others). Either way, you certainly don't need to rewrite your application for every different environment any more.
