CGI doesn't run asynchronously. All you've done with a multithreaded CGI server is have each CGI script run on a separate thread. But that doesn't change the fact that a browser is going to sit there and wait as the CGI script runs to completion (which is how the server knows it's done). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
