But just to be crystal clear:  the Python server doesn't suck up Apache
threads/processes.  Apache forwards the first request, and possibly serves the
other parts of a page in which a Mod-pubsub section is embedded... but after
that, Apache is entirely out of the loop.  I find that this is a very common
misunderstanding about Mod-pubsub, so I want to clarify.  JP
