Justin, Good idea. I'd be happy to start a wiki on mod_python/OSX integration, or if a wiki already exists, to start a wiki page. If someone knows of an appropriate wiki, please just let me know where to start posting. If I don't hear from anyone, I'm happy to start it/ host it. > I haven't tried using this new python to build mod_python 2.7 against > apache 1.3 from panther because I'd rather use apache2.

That is, is mod_python like subversion, another reason for all of us to go to apache2? AR On Jun 22, 2004, at 5:06 PM, Justin Ryan wrote: > Antonio, > > I feel your pain.
