You just need to run multiple apache instances, which is advisable anyway. The hosting service formerly known as python-hosting has been doing this for years. For example my http://www.xfeedme.com site uses it (which seems to be down at the moment! oh no! :( ). -- Aaron Watters ps: little known fact: mod_python descends from an NSAPI plugin implementation I wrote as an example of embedding python in the defunct "Internet Programming with Python" book.
