I don't understand this enough to have an opinion on it, seems like
another way to skin a cat, but to really form an opinion would require
some thinking on my part at least (may be I'm getting thick with age).
I think it'd be great if those who send in +1's (or -1's) would explain
why they think this is good, and even if it's not so useful, then is it
worth being supported and maintained in the future.

I have had patches for adding server side include support into
mod_python ready for a while now. See:

In short, it would add the ability to add Python code into files
being served up through the INCLUDES output filter. More
commonly this is known as server side include (SSI). For example:
<!--#python exec=" from mod_python import apache import cgi import sys
parts = apache.import_module('parts') def _escape(object): return
cgi.escape(str(object)) "--> <html> <body> <pre> <!--#python
eval="_escape(str(globals().keys()))"--> <!--#python
eval="_escape(str(locals().keys()))"--> <!--#python exec=" print >> filter
for key in filter.req.subprocess_env: print >> filter, _escape((key,
filter.req.subprocess_env[key])) "--> <!--#python
eval="parts.content()"--> </pre> </body> </html>
One could say that there is an overlap between this and the
mod_python.psp handler, but the SSI feature is a builtin feature of
Apache and it make sense to support it. Using SSI, if one was mad
enough, you could even have Python and Perl code appearing in the one
file.
Anyway, the point of this email is to get a decision on whether this
major new feature should or should not be added into mod_python.
Core developer votes obviously matter the most, but others are more
than welcome to voice an opinion.
So, is it a Yes or a No?
