I'm sure mod_rewrite is a good thing when all you want is really just beautiful URLs and nothing more. In my case I think there is some more to it. I'll try to sketch it out: Say, I have the following scripts that form a user interface to a library database (say, I'm using Python over CGI for this one here) - http://www.mydomain.com/libdb/index.py - http://www.mydomain.com/libdb/input.py - http://www.mydomain.com/libdb/search.py - http://www.mydomain.com/libdb/reports.py - http://www.mydomain.com/libdb/maintain.py I'm sure you can imagine that every script is doing a lot of stuff (printing out HTML forms, handling user actions and so on). - Let's see how I would implement this with mod_python: - I would write one large mod_python script called "libdb.py" which contains basically the whole code of all the above listed scripts. Each of the above scripts I would replace by methods (handlers) like "def index():", "def input():", "def search():", etc. Then I've ended up with a huge, almost unmaintainable script. :-( Is there any way to avoid this? Would anyone tackle this problem differently? Any help is greatly appreciated!
