While there might be some die-hards in the group that would accuse
you (the OP) of heresy, most folks here are pragmatics that will shrug
and reply "if {Perl,PHP,Ruby,Pike,JavaScript,...} solves your problem,
go for it. We just can't help you much unless it's Python". Much
like I'm a vi/vim guy, but if emacs/Sublime/notepad/nano/ed/edlin/cat
works for you, then go for it.
Most of the major frameworks *can* be run as CGI (rather than FastCGI
or WSGI), but performance is usually abysmal because the entire
program is restarted for each request (whereas FCGI/WSGI have
long-running processes that exact the spin-up cost once). It's more
of a party trick or proof-of-concept than anything you'd want to put
into high-traffic production. Django[1], CherryPy[2], Flask[3],
web.py[4], web2py[5] all support deploying in a CGI environment (it
looks like Pylons/Pyramid might too, but I couldn't scare up a link
for explicit directions).
I'm personally partial to Django because it offers so much out of
the box, but I've done work in a couple of the others too (doing some
CherryPy contract work currently).
