Not an answer to your question, but...  You might want to take a look at Maki
(http://maki.sourceforge.net/).

"""
maki is an attempt to glue together a simple, flexible framework that allows
you to use XML, XSLT, Apache, and Python to serve web pages. It is a
mod_python handler for Apache that is intended to handle requests made to your
server for XML files.
