Hi Marc, I think you are not understanding what mod_wsgi is.
*"The aim of mod_wsgi is to implement a simple to use Apache<http://httpd.apache.org/> module which can host any Python <http://www.python.org/> application which supports the Python WSGI <http://www.wsgi.org/>interface. The module would be suitable for use in hosting high performance production web sites, as well as your average self managed personal sites running on web hosting services."* WSGI is the "Web Server Gateway Interface", as (mostly) defined in http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/ mod_wsgi provides a mechanism to connect apache with python, so that python can form a response to a web request. However, the interface is very basic. Python is expected to return the (usually html) data directly. Any templating type systems would happen at a level above mod_wsgi. Take a look at some of the python web frameworks out there (bottle, flask, django, etc...) to see what they have to offer. Under mod_python, the PSP handler is what was responsible for the syntax you were referencing. In the same way, if such a thing exists to be run under WSGI, it would be a separate project (and be able to run on any compliant wsgi server). I am not personally aware of such a thing. Personally, I accomplish a similar feat using python code directly: Given that HS() is a function which encodes HTML entities, and QA() is an xmlish quote attribute function, and UE() is a url encode function: html = ''' <div> <h1>Hi, this is an example</h1> <h2>Record List</h2> * ''' + ''.join('''* <div class="record"> First Name: ''' + HS(row.FirstName) + '''<br /> Last Name: ''' + HS(row.LastName) + '''<br /> <a href=''' + QA('/user/details?id=' + UE(row.ID)) + '''>Details</a> </div> * ''' for row in GetList()) + '''* </div> ''' I've used PHP and ASP.Net razr, and this isn't that much different. It requires you to think a little harder sometimes, but it is very possible to get the same effect using python syntax directly embedded in a view function.
