Just to make a point: one person's "isn't a good solution" is another 
person's "works perfectly well for me". Modern servers are really quite 
quick: the cost of starting up a Python process and generating an HTML 
page can be really quite low. I've certainly had low-traffic production 
websites running for years on CGI without anyone complaining.

If speed was an issue or if I thought that I'd be getting more requests 
than I am then I'd consider a more sophisticated solution.
