[mod_python] does mod_python is ready for production env. ?

Yes, mod_python is extreamly viable in a production enviroment.  Draco I
cannot answer for, I tend to use Albatross.

We have used mod_python for several large sites without issue, the
problems have always been our own doing =)

In my personal tests, I found mod_python right behind mod_perl in terms
of speed and ahead of php.  My tests revolved around how I wanted to use
mod_python (big app using a mysql backend on linux), so if you are
worried about speed I recommend you conduct your own benchmarks with the
way you will be using mod_python.  At the time I was new to python, so
I'm sure there were ways to speed up the mod_python test site.

It's worth note that a C module will blow the doors off of a
perl/php/python site.  So if speed is really an issue, C is the way to
go.  If it's not that bad, then in terms of preformance perl/php/python
are all close enough to make it a non-issue.

I hate php as well ;)
