WSGI is where the action is, yes. But don't let the PEP scare you: WSGI 
is just a Python-specific, stackable CGI. It's just starting to get past 
the early adopter phase, though, so if you're for something more mature, 
you might check out the following:

   neo_cgi -- I just found this today. The API is more basic than you
     describe, but similar in that you're dealing with a CGI object. Not
     sure if it's usable outside of Clearsilver.

   jonpy -- This library hasn't been marketed very well, but the code is
     good, it's lightweight, well-documented, and includes sessioning.
