Do you use fcgi.py or flup? Go for flup


"What's the difference between flup's fcgi module and your previous 
fcgi.py?

Feature-wise, very little, as I do try to keep both implementations in 
sync. The most significant difference is that flup's fcgi module uses 
thread pooling, fcgi.py simply starts a new thread for each 
connection/request. flup's code is refactored and modularized, to 
minimize duplicated code between all 6 servers."
