Yes I've done simple CGI scripts in Bash even. Apache and PHP have
an extra link in the form of mod_php. That runs PHP scripts from 
Apache without starting a separate process for the interpreter.
Apparantly there was a mod_Python but development was abandoned.

PHP also has OPcache for caching compiled copies of scripts for
performance. I'm not sure if that can be done so transparently with
Python (since I dislike Python anyway, I'm not that interested).
