I think that's a bit unfair, mod_python's 'basic' is exposing the apache api in python, and allowing python code to be understood by apache. The other things mod_python can do are really extras and bonuses, and if you come from having worked with the apache api before, mod_python has been pretty complete for a while now. Also, you've never been "locked into" the options that come with mod_python. There are some other frameworks that work under mod_python listed in the links section; http://www.modpython.org/links.html and I myself use Albatross; http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/albatross/ There are alot more than these out there as well that use mod_python for it's access to the apache api and then supply their own framework. And it never hurts to know more than one, as not every framework is best for every app; sometimes you really need Zope and other times Publisher will be get the job quite nicely =) Mike
