I took a look at mod_python myself because I was interested in not having the
interpreter loaded each time. What I discovered was that mod_python does NOT
work in a method similar to mod_php. Read
http://www.modpython.org/live/mod_python-2.7.6/doc-html/tut-what-it-do.html
and take a look at the part at the bottom that reads 'Some food for thought'.
I have been thinking of using FastCGI instead, but haven't got around to it
yet.
