Introduction to mod_python
Posted by paul on January 1, 2007.
This article is the first in a series on Python Web Development. This series of articles will explore the various Python offerings available to web developers. I’ll likely be writing a bit about mod_python, Django, and TurboGears (and it’s various components: SQLObject, CherryPy, Kid, MochiKit). I’ve decided to start with mod_python because it’s the most "low-level" of the topics I plan to cover and therefore seems like a good place to start. My goal is to provide a brief introduction to mod_python, a tour of what you can do with it, and some pointers to further resources should you want to explore it in more depth. I will assume that the reader is comfortable programming in Python (although no specific knowledge is required) and is familiar with Apache and basic web concepts. This article is not intended to be a complete reference for mod_python. Instead it is meant to consolidate information available from other sources, to hopefully whet your appetite and encourage you to read more from the official documentation (links are in the Resources section).
