I think you could use stunnel to listen on port 443 and forward it to a local port, where you'd have a python httpd, perhaps using the SimpleHTTPServer module. Stunnel uses OpenSSL which handles client certificates pretty well as far as I can tell. There are various Python openssl bindings that I haven't used and I get they impression that at least some of them are sloppy about certificates at either end. I've never used stunnel but have been wanting to. mod_python is pretty dead. Frankly I've always used apache whenever I've used https for web pages. You could use mod_wsgi (I haven't tried this yet) or again, set it up as a proxy forwarding to a local port for a python httpd to listen to. Or for that matter, you use old-fashioned cgi's. That's what I usually do if there's not a load issue. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
