[mod_python] mod_python or wsgi

We are doing a 'side port' from mod_perl over to python of a large  
mess of code.

Largely because developers keep getting tripped up on the idiomatic  
nature of OO perl.

The initial idea was to move everything to mod_python as it seemed the  
closet sidestep.
Looking for advice on the validity of that idea. Would it be as easy  
to move mod_perl code
to wsgi as mod_python?

i know the advantages of wsgi in terms of portability by that isnt the  
issue right now,
getting it done as quickly and as easily as possible is.

thoughts? experiences? comments?

thanks in advance,
sean
