To All- I have tried consently to get mod_python to compile and create the .so file for Apache. To date this has been an unsucessful adventure. Has anyone done this type of install with HP-UX 11.11, Apache 2.0 and the latest version of mod_python. Desperately seeking insight.

I've just gotten started with mod_python, using it for about 2 weeks, and can offer these insights(?) 1. easy install and getting started 2. simple mods to apahce conf to "invoke" it 3. really cool code if using the publisher 4. only limitation I've found is that you need to restart apache when you deploy .py changes. There may be a way around this, but it wasn't worth the effort to me to explore. 5. if you're using Session objects, take special note of the "lock" option. If you try to get the same session object twice during the same execution cycle (i.e. POST) it hangs with the default setting. Some may argue that getting the same thing twice is just sloppy code, and they may be right, but when the wolf's at the door you gotta... I was able to write a security handler that intercepts all .py and .html references and assures login before access is granted. web site developers are unaware of my "intercept" so they cannot bypass it. a simple controller, that is the only file that is web specific, calling my backend logic that also runs from command line for debugging. none of the above was more than 1/4 page of code. There are (too?) many python web frameworks. Others seem like they may be better for my needs, but this works easily. Will explore others when wolf's on vacation. -----Original Message----- From: python-list-bounces+frsells=adventistcare.org at python.org [mailto:python-list-bounces+frsells=adventistcare.org at python.org]On Behalf Of Steve Holden Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 10:23 AM To: python-list at python.org Cc: mod_python at modpython.org Subject: Re: is mod_python borked? walterbyrd wrote: > I am considering python, instead of php, for web-application > development.

Like all systems mod_python has its limitations, but it has an active development community who are extremely responsive to user and developer input.
