[mod_python] mod_python bake-off?

I have no objection to a bake-off and would be happy to write the
mpservlet version.

I agree with those that have said (or said something similar to):

Each developer should be provided with:

  1. Business logic as python classes
  2. Mock-up HTML
  3. css files ??
  4. javascript files ??

As for tables vs css layout...shouldn't really matter, but please,
let's not degenerate into a religious war over this.  That's way-off
topic!

As for datastore backends: this is tricky.  Some frameworks make
assumptions, some don't.  Personally, I'd like to see the datastore
buried under the hood of the business logic; this way we're all on
the same page, as it were.  Can't the provided business logic do some
pure python thing: pickle, Berkeley DB?
