MOD_PYTHON
Mod_python is an Apache module that embeds the Python interpreter within the Apache server. With mod_python you can use the Python programming language to implement handlers for Apache to process the various phases of handling a HTTP request.
Using these abilities, you can write web-based applications in Python that will run many times faster than traditional CGI. These applications will be able to make use of many of the standard features provided by Apache such as its configuration mechanism, URL rewriting abilities, proxying, caching, filtering, access control, user authentication and much much more.
This site is not the main site for mod_python, but is my own private unofficial wiki for mod_python. Here you will find links to various externally available resources for mod_python, but also my own articles on how to use mod_python, along with descriptions of a number of problems and issues that exist in mod_python and which any serious mod_python user should be aware of.
The site will tend to have a strong focus on mod_python 3.3 the next significant version of mod_python that is currently still in development.
