I've read both of these documents, and they provide a good tutorial on
writing code.  What they are both missing is how to actually invoke a
ZPublisher object.  What do I do after I've written Hello.py?  I guess
this is related to using pcgi, but there doesn't seem to be a document on
how to set it up to work with ZPublisher.  I think I need something
similar to Zope.cgi that invokes ZPublisher instead.

How does this work, does the proxy forward requests to ZHTTPServer?
