[mod_python] mod_python Live examples

I've recently been working on integrating owlfish's implementation of 
TAL (Template Attribute Language) with mod_python servlets.   I like 
that model, because it lets me separate all the HTML from the Python 
code (so that I can't get sloppy and mix Python with my HTML).  I can 
then implement controller classes by subclassing mod_python servlets, 
and keep those separate from my entity classes (which are straight python).

I have a feeling that this solution may be slow-performing, but that 
doesn't matter for what I'm doing now.  The only other problem is that 
you are replacing all of the servlet's handling of HTML, and there are 
some patterns that you have to follow to keep the whole thing working.

If there's any interest, I can post an annotated example.
