[mod_python] Hello newbie problems #2

Apache FORKS, spawning new processes- in advance, and has a stable of them on 
hold waiting for incoming requests. When one has handled the number of service 
requests you preset in the conf file, it dies- and is replaced with a new one. 
This uses up a lot of memory with a lot of daemonspawn, and a threading server 
is more memory efficent, although difficult as all hell to write. Python will 
support threading servers if you write one that way. In fact, just to screw with 
your minds, here is one now:
-------------------------------BEWARE WORD WRAP-----------------------------
#!C:\Python22\Pythonw.exe
from SocketServer import ThreadingMixIn
import BaseHTTPServer, CGIHTTPServer, os
#
os.chdir ('.\web')	# INSTALL IN c:\Python22; web pages in ~\web
#
class ThreadingCGIServer(ThreadingMixIn,BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer):
	pass
import sys
server=ThreadingCGIServer(('',8080),CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
try:
	while 1:
		sys.stdout.flush()
		server.handle_request()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
	print 'Finished.'
---------------------------END OF SCRIPT, CHAOS FOLLOWS------------------
