Yeah, there is an apache module (mod_python I believe). It was available
from modules.apache.org the last time I looked.

On a similar note, does anyone know what the perfomance difference is
between standard pcgi and mod_pcgi? Does mod-pcgi even work? I haven't seen
much mention of it.

Also, is it possible for ZServer to publish from the filesystem as opposed
to the ODB/ For istance could http://myserver/somefiles be dynamic zope,
while http://myserver/someotherfiles could be static pages served up
directly without the need for Apache, or is this impossible with the current
implementation of ZServer?

Thanks,
