Thankfully! mod_python is highly > deprecated and no longer maintained. That's not true, fortunately. mod_python3 is certainly not deprecated, and it's actively maintained. The latest version of mod_python is 3.2.8. > one of the new platforms such as Twisted, or using a CGI solution. Twisted is a complex monster, and CGI solutions are slow, that's the exactly the reason why mod_python exists. Django is pretty cool to easily develop web applications (see www.djangoproject.com, it's under a BSD license). Its authors explicitly recommend to run it with apache2 + mod_python3, by the way.
