Apache via Mod_python

Mod_PYTHON was the first way to run Python applications under Apache with excellent performance. It’s still awesome, though Mod_WSGI has superceeded it.

Mod_python handler

Create myapp/mod_python.py, which will be loaded by Mod_PYTHON

from chula.www.adapters.mod_python import adapter
from model import configuration

@adapter.handler
def handler():
    return configuration.app

Apache config

Update your apache VirtualHost to have:

<Directory /path/to/myapp>
  PythonDebug On
  PythonHandler mod_python
  PythonPath "['/path/to/myapp'] + sys.path"
  SetHandler python-program
</Directory>

Try it!

Restart Apache:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart

Now you should be able to hit: http://your-server/myapp/blog
