    Actually, FCGI offers good performance with Python.  Applications
look like CGI applications, you don't get hung up in the complexities
of some "framework", and you don't reload the entire application for
each request as you do with CGI.

    Unfortunately, the documentation for FCGI is terrible.

    It's a useful option if you're doing something that doesn't work
like a typical web application.
