Sure, just dump CGI. There are tons of alternatives: 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/WebProgramming

You could use Quixote with SCGI or the Medusa backend, for example: 
http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/quixote/

Or you could implement your own custom webserver. One approach would be 
to hack the CGIHTTPServer included in the standard Python library and 
change it so the section that has the comment

# Other O.S. -- execute script in this process

is always executed. This part of the code avoids loading a new 
interpreter and uses execfile instead.
