I use mod_python for all my web stuff, including several live production 
sites - no problems so far. Admittedly, I don't use anything too 
complicated - usually just the handler and publisher syntax and a little 
bit of authentication. Plus MySQL on the back end.

different on-server users aren't sharing the same copy of mod_python, since 
they'll have a shared context. Which would only a problem where you're 
running a server open for lots of people to set up their own pages. I own 
all the servers being used so it's not an issue.
