Yep, that's pretty much what it comes down to.  In Webware the output 
stream, though, is generally of type WebKit.ASStreamOut.ASStreamOut 
(ack... that name shouldn't have slipped in there).  It has some extra 
functions which control buffering.  Unfortunately, there's no good 
minimal wrapper, but WebKit.ThreadedAppServer.TASASStreamOut (double 
ack) could be easily modified to write to a file instead of a socket.

Also, Webware has a lot of prints in it, so if you are actually 
outputing a response to stdout, you should do a sys.stdout = stderr 
before running Webware.  This is unfortunate as well, though not a big 
deal if you are running Webware in its own process.

Application also requires a server (typically AppServer), which has a 
few methods you'd need to implement, though they are very minimal.
