Hmm, it's been a long time since I've looked at moles.  Pygopherd
supports at least the same thing that UMN gopherd does, as well as its
own (PYG) modules that are dynamically loaded from Python scripts and
executed within the server process (sorta a mod_gopher sort of thing).
I seem to remember supporting moles in Pygopherd as well, but I'm away
from my source tree at the moment and my memory isn't so good for that
bit of code just now...
