Hey,

Has anyone on the list made use of mod_python? http://www.modpython.org/

I was patching an old development server and noticed I had installed it
several years ago but never really got beyond hello-world.

Is this something worth pursueing, or should I stick with more
traditional server side scripting?

Michael

Some kind of persistent cgi (fastcgi, etc.) or ProxyPass is generally  
a better way to integrate dynamic code with Apache.  That's what just  
about everything does these days, mod_python isn't that popular and  
it reduces the stability of the server.

Hi Michael,

Wow- list traffic here!  We gotta take more advantage, I nearly forget 
this list exists!  (Sooooo much python stuff out there...)

Same here- it's been a while.

I'll toss in some of the same sentiment here.  A *lot* more fun, sane, 
and stable server working enviornment can be had with pcgi, or writing 
small daemons using python (using ProxyPass or rewrite rules to proxy 
the daemons with Apache [the latter is more useful/comfortable to me, 
from years of zope use and dev- makes it simple to scale servers out 
across hardwares etc...).

my .02? -  but noteworthy, I simply haven't had a dev. problem I've 
thought would be cleanly solved using Mod Python, so there's bound to 
be *someone* who loves it to death...
