Yep, have a look at Zope, a python based opensource cgi solution:
From my POV, Zope has two major problems.
#1: It expects to run as a server. This is not a good thing, from the POV of most IPPs and ISPs.
Well, this one is easy ;) Change your ISP. The numbers of Zope providers are starting to grow.
#2: The documentation is somewhat lacking. << This one is easy to fix. >>
That one is most difficult. Zope is about 140kloc python, with a number of C language modules. And it does combine a number of revolutionary ideas. Actually a rather huge number of genial ideas. (DC seems to be small, but they do have a quality standard for hireing :) ) Actually, the long running process problem you seem to be refering to, can be partly solved by developing for ZPublisher only. This is a magnitude better than cgi programming, and for some projects even the best way, but generally speaking ZPublisher is but one of the components of ZOPE.
