FYI, the most recent PEP to mention FastCGI is PEP 333 (WSGI), not 222. There are now several FastCGI-supporting implementations of the WSGI API described in PEP 333, not to mention implementations of that same API for various other things including CGI, mod_python, Twisted, etc. Since they all have the same API, you can focus your evaluation on performance, documentation, or other characteristics without having to try different APIs.
