I have been using mod_python with Moin since around 2003 and found it fast and reliable. During that time, I think there has been at least one bug specific to mod_python (related to uploading attachments?) that was discussed here but it never effected my installation. That said, I have been working toward moving my production environment from Fedora Core to Ubuntu. After bringing up a working Ubuntu environment on an old PC, I decided to give mod_wsgi a try. Following the instructions here: http://moinmo.in/HelpOnInstalling/ApacheWithModWSGI I was able to convert from mod_python to mod_wsgi in about 20 minutes. Given a choice between mod_python and mod_wsgi, I think the strategic choice is mod_wsgi because more of the development effort is going in that direction. It is good to have multiple choices that work well. If you are going to develop a new Python application or invest time in installing a new server then wsgi capability is worth considering. So my personal plan is to convert from mod_python to mod_wsgi.
