It's not written by some "few", rather a long time maintainer of that project: Look at these last commits (he even committed after the last release): $ svn log --limit 100 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/trunk/ > t.txt $ grep "| grahamd |" t.txt |wc -l 75 >> And the code base is unmaintained for a long time (many years). > > Yes, for about 2 years. The last released code is actually more old (2006 end is last commit with any bugfixes) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/tags/release-3-3-1/NEWS?view=log so, any useful commit happened almost 5 years before. >> http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2010/06/modpython-project-is-now-officially.html >> http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2010/05/modpython-project-soon-to-be-officially.html >> > > The modpython site was updated sometime in October, which was > after these 2 posts.

FYI, Apache has an official page to list dead projects: http://attic.apache.org/ And the mod_python is listed there: http://attic.apache.org/projects/quetzalcoatl.html BTW, there is a new project to deploy WSGI apps in Apache: http://www.modwsgi.org Regards, Baiju M _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
