FYI. A new mod_python/PSP article has popped up at: http://www.pythonthreads.com/news/latest/web-development-environment-for-python-server-pages-and-oracle.html The things I have an issue with so far are: 1. It claims that the 'session' and 'form' variables in PSP are "standard Python dictionaries" when technically they aren't. For most things they may appear to work the same, but at other times the difference needs to be taken into consideration. 2. They don't over emphasise enough the dangers of exposing the .psp_ extension for PSP source code. Especially since their own example has the login and password embedded within the PSP file itself and therefore it would be exposed if someone didn't turn off PythonDebug. I also find the following comment amusing as I am sure that lots of people would disagree: There are several application frameworks available for Python currently. They are not refined enough to be used in enterprise-grade environments, although I recommend you give them a try. Apache with mod_python itself is powerful enough to handle most of the development scenarios. Anyway, though others might find the article interesting to read. Graham
