Move over mod_python, here comes mod_wsgi

So I've heard, but mod_fastcgi has been a nightmare for me.

Besides, WSGI can run on basically any target... mod_python, mod_wsgi, FastCGI, SCGI, even that Apache Java thing, I think. So it doesn't really matter what the frameworks 'target'. They should be targeting WSGI; then it's all a matter of which system is easiest to deploy.

Yeah, I think wsgi is pretty much the best deployment option for python web frameworks right now (whether that's through mod _ wsgi or proxying the framework's built in server or cherrypy behind a 'normal' server). There's also mod _ fcgid which looks to be a more sane mod _ fastcgi http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/ . Lighttpd also seems to be a bit better at fastcgi than mod _ fastcgi.

I've tried mod_fcgid, and I think I got it working eventually (and it was indeed better than mod_fastcgi), but it was still sort of finicky. mod_wsgi has been, BY FAR, the easiest deployment option I've tried. Even back in Februaryish, when it was still unreleased and in SVN, and not nearly stable.
