OK, this sounds exactly like what I need.

This looks quite interesting, too, but I'm a bit concerned that I need to do it in dev (using paster) differently to doing it on production (apache/mod_wsgi). So, for the time being I'll probably stick with the FileApp (if Pylons 0.9.6.2 supports it, I just hope - you know, legacy pylons app ^^) But, if how Wichert mentioned, paster.FileApp could be configured to do that automatically (maybe with a switch in the ini file, and then triggering some sort of middleware), that would be great, too! Anyway, thanks for advice. Jens P.S. And I definitely know why I prefer the Pylons ML to the lists run by other frameworks, namely some Java web frameworks.....Within minutes, I got a correct, useful and concise answer.
