Thanks a lot for all your answers.
So it seems it's rather smart to not stick with mod_python,
though it might be, that it's just restin' .
As a first test I tried to use
apache with mod_wsgi and a hello world python wsgi script.
This works fine.
Almost everything of my mod_python code should translate rather easily.
The one problem, that I have is following.
my mod_python code uses:
req.add_common_vars()
ssh_dn_o = req.ssl_var_lookup("SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O")
How could I obtain apache's SSL variable 'SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O'
I'd like, that my script reacts differently depending on the client's
SSL certificate.
If that problem is solved then I could probably get rid of mod_python.
