I'd also suggest mod_rewrite as one way of doing it, but there is also
a way of doing it in mod_python.publisher using a wrapper class for a
method. See:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-March/017560.html

The concept could probably be extended to handle form parameters
properly and also to be able to be applied using a decorator.
