Do not get confussed: Django is a complete web development framework, and "Cheetah" is just a template engine. You don't need any framework to use mod_python (although many frameworks use mod_python as a deployment option, as well as CGI or FastCGI, etc). Mod_python is just the module that lets you use python with Apache. However, it has some built-in capabilities for letting you build web sites. They are called "handlers". You can write your own handlers, or you can use the ones included within mod_python. The main two handlers are: 1) PSP: this stands for Python Server Pages, and it is a way to parse scripts in a PHP-like way. For example, you enclose your python instructions between <% and %> tags, and your can mix them within html. However, it is not very polished and I would recomend it... 2) Publisher: It lets you write scripts where you define functions, that correspond to different pages. For example, if you define a function "index" it will contain the code to display your main page. This way you can create a whole site with only one script. You can include html code within these functions, but it is recommended to use a template system combined with publisher, in order to separate presentation and logic. Cheetah is a very good templating engine. I suggest you start by reading mod_python's documentation, and then, when you are up and running with all your installation, you can check Cheetah...
