Please help me grok: webserver > python

[Phillip B Oldham]

I'm having trouble grok'ing how to get python talking through a
webserver. I've got a lot of experience working with nginx+php-fcgi
(via a unix socket) and I'd like to know what would be the bare
minimum to get python talking in the same way.

Now, I've looked at modules like CherryPy but they're all a little
high level and talk via http. I'd like to know how to mimic the php
setup I'm used to; I've no specific goal other than to become
aquainted with the python environment.

Any examples would be great!
