My fcgihandler.py equivalent file is in the the same directory as
web2py.py
My init.d startup script changes to this directory before running
fcgihanfdler.py with Python.
I don't make any separate changes to PYTHONPATH.
The web2py FastCGI server needs to know where the UNIX socket is. This
is what I use:
BIND_ADDRESS='/tmp/fcgi_handlerzgus.sock'
