There is a Python FastCGI module which might help:

Another thing which might be a possibility is to write an entire web
server in Python. That isn't as hard as it sounds, since most of the
work has been done for you. Look at the BaseHTTPServer module in the
standard library. The disadvantage of that approach is that it doesn't
integrate well with an existing web server.

Cheers,

Duncan.
