[mod_python] bye bye mod_python, hello... what?

Hello,

I migrate from mod_python to CherryPy + Apache with mod_wsgi.

I had very very small "framework" runing under mod_python. Now I rewrite 
this "framework" for using with CherryPy with minimal effort (only 4 
days).  In applicationsusing my "framework" i must make only few revisions.

Good luck,

Tomas
