The initial release candidate for version 1.0 of mod_wsgi is now available for final testing. The software and documentation are both available from: http://www.modwsgi.org The mod_wsgi package consists of an Apache web server module designed and implemented specifically for hosting Python based web applications that support the WSGI interface specification. Examples of major Python web frameworks and applications which are known to work in conjunction with mod_wsgi include CherryPy, Django, MoinMoin, Pylons, Trac and TurboGears. Hosted WSGI applications may be run in 'embedded' mode, in the style of mod_python, or 'daemon' mode, in a style somewhat similar to that of mod_fastcgi. Embedded mode would generally be used where dedicated servers are available. The mode would allow the scalability and process management features of Apache to be fully utilised to achieve maximum performance for your application. Daemon mode would instead be used where applications need to be separated from each other. This mode would thus be suitable for shared hosting environments where applications need to be run in distinct processes running as the user which owns the application and not the user which Apache runs as. The Apache module can be compiled for and used with either Apache 1.3, 2.0 or 2.2, although daemon mode is only available on Apache 2.X running on UNIX. When running on UNIX systems, either the single threaded 'prefork' or multithreaded 'worker' Apache MPMs can be safely used.
