Mod_python is an Apache module that embeds the Python interpreter within the server. With mod_python you can write web-based applications in Python that will run many times faster than traditional CGI and will have access to advanced features such as ability to retain database connections and other data between hits and access to Apache internals.

Current State of Mod_Python

Mod_python is going to be maintained on Github from here on. There is no plan for additional releases, the latest code is the master branch, which will be kept as stable as possible. For issues and questions please use Github.
