How would overriding work? If I understand the code flow properly
interfaces.py is loaded after the call to get_tracker. So
interfaces.py can't be used to override get_tracker.

I can only see it being overridden from a wsgi.py wrapper like:

    import sys
    # obtain the WSGI request dispatcher
    from roundup.cgi.wsgi_handler import RequestDispatcher

    tracker_home = '/home/trackers/demo'

    def My_get_tracker(self):
        # do other stuff
        RequestDispatcher.get_tracker(self)

    RequestDispatcher.get_tracker = My_get_tracker

    # runs _init_ with My_get_Tracker right?
    app =  RequestDispatcher(tracker_home)

Did I get something wrong here?
