One module I saw someday on my list of new packages on Debian: from apt-cache show apache2-mpm-itk Description: multiuser MPM for Apache 2.2 The ITK Multi-Processing Module (MPM) works in about the same way as the classical "prefork" module (that is, without threads), except that it allows you to constrain each individual vhost to a particular system user. This allows you to run several different web sites on a single server without worrying that they will be able to read each others' files. . Please note that this MPM is highly experimental, and is not from the same tree as the other MPMs.
The day it becomes "stable" it can be a nice thing, but for now the most secure way is FastCGI ;) About: > Having two options is better than having only one. :) Sure, but not if one of the two options means that your application is readable by **any** user on that system (remember: you would need to give 'www-data' privileges to read you application data, which means that **ANY** user could also read your app. data) which means that on a shared hosting scenario **THis is not an option** It can be on a private/dedicated server but **never** on a shared hosting, on the most simple case the use of mod_python would allow any user on the system to read your settings.py and you know what's on settings.py... (database_password, etc ...).
