That's some creative handwaving. :)

Unfortunately, you can't FORGET_IT from an epy, so this isn't possible. 
If you want to take a look at how a resource does it, take a look at
CGIScript in twisted.web.twcgi.

In my Copious Free Time, I will attempt to write widgets that do this
and database queries.  Others are invited to do so as well.  Don't use
.epy scripts in the future if you can avoid it though; I want to remove
them from the distribution sometime in the very near future.
