   But in abscense of both modules I can run my CGIs without modification.
And you cannoy run you CGIs - they require httpdapy.

   I don't think so. If you want to compare with mod_perl - there are two
advatntages of mod_python - it is speed (not memory - mod_perl is still
memory hog) and ability to dive into apache's internals. Both httpdapy and
PyApache should be extended to process apache internal requests.
