The mod_wsgi module is a means of hosting any Python web framework or
application that supports the WSGI interface. The mod_wsgi module
isn't a framework in itself whereas mod_python is in part due to its
high level handlers.

Thus, what you should be doing is simply selecting any of the separate
Python web frameworks that support WSGI and use them, following their
specific documentation.

The more popular full featured frameworks are Django, TurboGears,
Pylons, CherryPy and web2py. At the other end are WSGI component
libraries such as Werkzeug and Paste, which you can use to construct a
custom framework specific to your needs. There are also now micro
frameworks such as Flask.

So, have a look at those.

You can find a large list of other WSGI supporting frameworks at:

You will also find various articles about WSGI at:
