Just curious, but what is it about your publisher that is different to the
standard mod_python.publisher or other extensions such as mpservlets
and Vampire.

I appreciate that writing a dispatch mechanism for mod_python is an
interesting programming task in its own right and that may be why you
are doing it, but there are a few others already to choose from. Obviously
though, each perhaps targets a different way of using mod_python and
you just might have in mind a different way again.

I am always interested to learn about different ways people see that
mod_python can be used. :-)
