The Uniform Server option looks very interesting, as does the newer apache version (I'm trying both).
I'm now stuck with the same issue with both Uniform Server and straight Apache, which is when starting apache or running Uniform "Apache Syntax Check": Syntax error on line 197 of .../httpd.conf: Cannot load ..../modules/mod_wsgi.so into server. Line 197 is LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so I've downloaded the right files (I think) and followed the instructions. It is in the right spot. This issue is readily found on various forums so I am now downloading the source code and attempting to recompile mod_wsgi.so. Don't know why but there is an issue when Python is installed in a non standard path - not sure if that is my issue, but I'll soon find out.
