I'm not familiar with perchild MPM or muxmpm, but it sounds like you'd need a separate process per user for it to work. That would seriously increase the cost of operating mass vhosts.

If it's for low-traffic vhosts without enormous processing complexity, you could use Python cgi's instead of mod_python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
