I will let Ben reply to this - he has been doing some stuff in that
area.

That looks like a good thing.  Without actually trying it out ('cos
I'm a lazy bugger), something like this should do something close to
what you want:

import cgitb
from albatross import SimpleApp

class MyApp(SimpleApp):
    def handle_exception(self, req):
        cgitb.handler()

One of the advantages of using a session server is that it allows
sessions to work transparently across multiple front end web serving
machines.
