Hello!
A friend and I were thinking about writing add-ons for SSI, like mod_perl has.
OutPut Filter, and maybe SimpleParse.

I have been dabbling in Python for a while, but I want to force myself to move
away from Perl competely and to move to Python. I want to implement
OutPutFilter, SSI, persistent database connections, etc with PyApache (or some
other
module) to help make it so I don't have to use PHP or Perl for certain things. I
want
to advance Python or Apache.

The thing is, I don't know the status of Python and Apache!

Is there a better module instead of PyApache?

If not, I (and at least one other person) would be more than happy to work with
other
people to make Python THE programming language to use with Apache. Right now,
I configured Perl to use mod_perl, persistent database connections, OutPut
Filter,
and Perl's SSI. I would like to see the same thing happen with Python so that I
can
use it on future websites.

Any help to point me int he right direction would be helpful!
Thanks!

Mark
