I didn't know Apache had an API of its own, or that it was even needed when writing a web application in Python. What does it provide in addition to Python/mod_python? > CherryPy allows me to focus >on the application layer and leave the server/deployment layer for >another day. So you recommend using Apache as the front-end, and run an application server like CherryPy in the background? > But IMO CherryPy has a cleaner API >for process control (engines and servers), application composition (via >the object tree and via WSGI), and plugins (like gzip, static content, >and header management). Interesting. I'll see if I can find more information on writing an app with Python in pure CGI, in FastCGI, in mod_python, and as an application server with eg. CherryPy.
