Ah, great thanks for the advice, some of the eggs/modules will contain c
extension modules so I'll look into mod_wsgi...been meaning too for a
while but until i had a good reason :)

The applications are django based, though we do have some legacy
modpython specific code which maybe i'll have to treat differently. 

thanks again,
Graham
