FWIW, a few comments.

1. The global "_counter" variable used by the profile() function is  
not used in
a thread safe way, so could screw up on multithreaded MPM.

2. The whole "import" Python option thing is not required as there  
are other
better ways of doing that with mod_python. For example:

   <Location /myapp>
     SetHandler python-program

     PythonFixupHandler myapp.cherrypy::startapp
     PythonHandler modpython_gateway::handler

     PythonOption application cherrypy._cpwsgi::wsgiApp
   </Location>

In other words, instead of using your "import" PythonOption, use the  
directive
PythonFixupHandler to trigger the execution of the "startapp"  
function for each
request.

That's all for now.
