Well, find like minded people and take on development and support of mod_python yourself. That is going to be the only solution. Knowing all the problems with how to deal with all the Unicode/bytes issues in Python 3.X it is going even be a major task working out what the interfaces should look like and where bytes versus Unicode should be used. The argument about this for WSGI has been going on for almost 2 years now I think and still now final resolution and WSGI is a lot smaller interface than mod_python. Also, there are a significant number of bugs in mod_python and seriously they would need to be addressed before even trying to go to Python 3.X. All up it is going to need some serious commitment and right now there is no one who who has said they are prepared to do that. > I find the frameworks annoying and really love the simplicity and lightness of mod_python. Did you look at Werkzeug and Flask as I mentioned in the blog. These are not heavy weight frameworks. Flask is specifically what is called a micro framework. Even if you didn't like Flask, it wouldn't take much effort to use Werkzeug to create an alternate micro framework that has usage pattern not too dissimilar to mod_python publisher. But one has to question whether that is a good idea either given the various design issues in publisher around multiple URLs being able to be used to map to a single resource and the problems that causes. Do you preserve these bad design issues or fix them?
