Do note that there are no known problems with using mod_python with worker MPM. If you were experiencing crashes then it is more likely that you were using a third party C extension module for Python that wasn't thread safe. Some versions of database modules and memcached apparently have threading issues. Alternatively someone was using PHP on the same Apache instance and it was PHP that was crashing, given that PHP is a bit notorious for not being thread safe although for the core that is apparently a lot better and again it is more to do with extension modules for it. Other possibilities for random crashes are conflicts in shared library versions used by Python modules and Apache, or other Apache modules such as PHP. It is much less likely that it was a problem with mod_python itself. I would though suggest you at least use the latest version of mod_python however. Thus, if you believe your own code on top of Django is thread safe, I wouldn't rule out using worker MPM, or even Windows, which is also multithreaded, but do test your code. If you have a problem and you think it might be mod_python, raise it on an appropriate forum so whether that is the case or not can be properly determined.
