There is no reason why mod_wsgi couldn't be used in this way, but since this is your very first web project I would very much suggest you not try and work at such a low level from the outset. I would instead suggest you look at a complete Python web framework stack such as Django, TurboGears or web2py. Start out with their templating systems to generate the HTML and only then start looking at support they provide for doing AJAX type systems. As you learn you can start to pull back some of the HTML generation out of the templates into the JavaScript, but frankly you would only want to do that if it was really necessary. Also perhaps look at toolkits for Python such as Pyjamas. This provides a way of using Python coding to produce JavaScript for generation of AJAX based GUIs in same style as Google Widget Toolkit. In respect of your original problem. As pointed out by someone else, you were trying to use code written for mod_python with mod_wsgi, which will not work. Secondly, you haven't configured Apache for mod_wsgi properly because your requests were returning the code, treating it as a static file instead of executing it. Finally, as others pointed out, you want to avoid Python 3 at this point. Stay with Python 2.X for now as still a way to go with the larger Python web frameworks I suggested you look at, being available for Python 3.
