Good to hear. =)

Well, mostly because there are so many available web frameworks for 
Python that nobody can agree on which one is best. Zope and Webware seem 
to be the most popular. Then, there's Twisted, which is (I'd say) the 
dominant/most popular general-purpose networking framework for Python.

I'd take mod_python over Tomcat in a heartbeat. Give me real Apache or 
give me... well, another webserver besides Tomcat. =)

Peace,
