I am running several middleware apps I'm working on under mod_python
(simple setup using mod_python.publisher handler) and so far, haven't
had the reason to restart apache at all.

Not sure what (or whom) you're referring to. IMO, developing TG/Pylons/Django
apps is much convinient with embedded web server (cherrypy or paster) as
it is possible to do rapid development without resorting to restarts.

Example with Pylons:
$ paster serve development.ini --reload

This will start a subprocess which monitors file changes.
