mod_python is no more
According to Graham Dumpleton and other sources, the mod_python project has been officially killed by the Apache Software Foundation. mod_python is a project under the umbrella project quetzalcoatl. It seems to be a long time coming since it was last updated in early 2008 and its main competitor mod_wsgi has just about completely taken over as the standard Apache module for running Python web apps.
I've used mod_wsgi and mod_python, but these days I run nginx as a frontend proxy to a CherryPy WSGI server for my Python web apps. Sad to see a previously successful project get killed, but it was time to make way for mod_wsgi and other methods of serving up Python.
