[mod_python] mod_python Live examples

I no longer work at Rackspace, but I still work for Rackspace in the 
capacity of an independent contractor.  When I did work there, we started 
converting our internal behemoth PHP system to something a little more 
structured, testable and debuggable, i.e. Python.  You can read all about 
that in the link on the pythonology page, which is also in the O'Rielly 
"Python Success Stories" booklet (that was a freebee sent to bookstores I 
think, don't know if you can actually get copies).

Anyway, they still use it, in the capacity as a CGI that we original wrote a 
couple years back.  They have been helpful in shaping and testing PSE, which 
I wrote independently after I left Rackspace to use mod_python from the 
beginning.

I don't know what their plans are for the future of Python at Rackspace, if 
any -- I'm just a contractor.  I just want to caveat that in case they say 
tomorrow that Python sucks and PHP rules!
