So to get things started on util.py you say that I can use the cgi module for those functions?
I found them in the cgi module before but dcumentation on these functions in MP is sparse/non existant

I did not dare to start using them, I'll have a look at the cgi versions to see if things on util.py in MP2WSGI can be speeded up with that.

I'm not familiar with using C for python extentions but might end up using the MP code "if" possible but I see some difficulties in doing so.
