Don't expect a Python 3.0 version, the C APIs aren't compatible and a
lot of work would need to be done to port mod_python to Python 3.0.
Even if was made to work, any applications on top would like need to
change. Those which which integrate quite closely with mod_python
specific handlers probably more so than those which use a minimal API
such as a WSGI bridge.
