You probably mean mod-wsgi. It is faster than CGI because it doesn't have to start a new Python interpreter for each request. And the protocol it uses is different so you should rewrite your scripts if you want to use WSGI. There are bridges to use your CGI script within WSGI, but it needs care; you cannot use it for every CGI script - your script has to work in a certain way (like being careful with initializing everything everytime it runs). That said, you can use both at the same time in a web server: some CGI scripts and some WSGI, and convert them one after one if you think it is necessary. For example a script that is seldom used can stay as CGI script. And last but not least: not every Apache installation has mod-wsgi enabled. I think most hosting providers don't. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
