I should have been more specific. It was 2010 when we were using
mod_python and still (in 2011) my colleagues who should be maintaining
the project would be using mod_python.
But think of the scenario - It's whole purpose was to dispatch the
request handled by apache to python module which invoked tools and
many of them were standalone tools.
So, this is strictly not a web-application scenario (MVC kind), but a
usage scenario considering things we did with apache and other
binaries. mod_python served as an easy to use interface.
Ofcourse, for quick web projects, I would really not mind using
mod_python.
Regarding it is usage with modern apache, it is possible easily, just
an apt-get away if you are debian based systems.
On my ubuntu system, synaptic says that:
"""
The mod_python module supports web applications written in Python.
Because the parser is embedded in the server as an Apache module, it
will run much faster than traditional CGI.
This package is built for the current Python version.
Canonical provides critical updates for libapache2-mod-python until
April 2012.
"""
So, it installs well with latest apache and python.
