    FCGI seems to be somewhat out of favor, perhaps because it isn't
complicated enough. It's a mature technology and works reasonably
well.  It's been a puzzle to me that FCGI was taken out of the
main Apache code base, because it gives production-level performance
with CGI-type simplicity.

    WSGI has a mode for running Python inside the Apache process,
which is less secure and doesn't allow multiple Python processes.
That complicates mod_wsgi considerably, and ties it very closely
to specific versions of Python and Python modules.  As a result,
the WSGI developers are patching at a great rate.  I think the
thing has too many "l33t features".

I'd avoid "embedded mode".  "Daemon mode" is the way to go if you use WSGI.
I haven't tried WSGI; I don't need the grief of a package under
heavy development.
