> I would also really like to see more examples. And get some advice :)! Glad I'm not alone :) Thanks everyone for your feedback and links to working mod_python sites. I'm beginning to see that mod_python's ability to open up the insides of apache is something really powerful. I also get the sense that it's not meant for "newbies" like me who are used to building webpages with Windows tools like Dreamweaver and putting in the dynamic plumming with PHP. But I _want_ to learn. And I'd like to seperate the HTML and Python code so I can still rely on HTML designers who, unlike myself, know how to build nice looking pages. And I'd like to use Python. But I can't seem to get a platform working. I figure I need to use templating to seperate the HTML and Python code. I've read Grisha's article at onlamp.com: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2004/02/26/python_server_pages.html I suppose having lots of choices when it comes to templating if you know what you're doing, but for someone like me the choice is difficult: which _should_ I choose? Being told "it depends on what you're doing" doesn't help because I'm not sure what I'm going to do, I'm still learning. I'm leaning towards PSP because it's built-in to mod_python, so it seems to me it will become a standard way of templating because it's already there. Can any gurus out there help guide this neophyte? (wincing a bit as I click send in fear of a "RTFM" retaliation - I've read so much my eyeballs are beginning to glaze over) Miles
