Is it WSGI you really mean is complicated or mod_wsgi itself? They are not the same thing, with mod_wsgi just being one implementation of WSGI. In comparison to mod_python the mod_wsgi package is simpler to install and setup, but then if you really meant WSGI as a concept then it is a different matter and yes without using some higher level WSGI framework or toolkit, then WSGI can be a bit more daunting and might appear more complicated, or at least less helpful, than mod_python as far as getting started. This is because mod_python is actually two parts. These parts are the low level web server interface, akin to WSGI level, and its higher level handlers. The mod_wsgi package doesn't have the higher level handlers as expected you would use any WSGI capable package for that. As others have said, perhaps start out with Python 2.X for now if you are just getting into this. This is because little work has been done yet on getting any of the Python web frameworks/toolkits running on Python 3.0 even if mod_wsgi is already ready (subversion copy) to host them on Apache.
