The mod_python package hasn't seen any active development in a few years. It has various known issues and problems which are unlikely to be fixed, the worst being memory leaks. It has undesirable behaviour for large Python web applications when you can only use prefork MPM with Apache. Even if using worker MPM with Apache you need to be careful. On this latter issue, have a read of: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2009/03/load-spikes-and-excessive-memory-usage.html > Is there a performance advantage for one or another? The mod_wsgi package has lower memory overhead and performs better. http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/PerformanceEstimates In general the preferred method for hosting is now mod_wsgi. Now some will say I am biased having written mod_wsgi, but I also worked on mod_python for a while as well, so understand both very well. :-) Graham -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
