I'd suggest using WSGI instead of CGI. CGI is slow and does not  
support streaming. web2py is based on WSGI and you can distribute  
your apps with the framework as a stand alone executable (when you  
click on it it starts web server, database, and your app in the UI in  
the browser). On Windows and Mac it does not require having Python  
installed.

Sorry. I have not.
