I was under the impression that there was the possibility of 
"cross-polution" by having different users' python scripts running under 
a single apache instance.

For example, from the Apache security tips:

"Embedded scripting options which run as part of the server itself, such 
as mod_php, mod_perl, mod_tcl, and mod_python, run under the identity of 
the server itself (see the User directive), and therefore scripts 
executed by these engines potentially can access anything the server 
user can. Some scripting engines may provide restrictions, but it is 
better to be safe and assume not."

Basically, I am concerned by what I read in these two threads:
