[mod_python] threading module within mod_python

The handler function should become the smallest thing in my application.
I want to build the application as a set of classes on top of everything and 
have the handler only create these classes and then pass them the control. 
Therefore I need to store the req object globally, but in a  threadsafe 
manner. Actually, I wrote a pure static class returning the thread's req
object to the caller, which I'm going to use in the lower level code of my
application otherwise written as portable as possible.

The problem is, raised exceptions should be communicated to the client because
I intend to raise exceptions in my application too. That's why I need
exceptions to be brought to the thread in which handler() was called.

Thank you for your help!
